I have no complaints but must say they are HEAVY AF. I recently added their TC skid, too and after a few extended off-road weekends I noticed that the dangling tuned-mass damper* on the transfer case has been rubbing on it and the TC had a bit of rub, too - even with the factory 'protector' removed. I'll try to fir it out a bit with washers and probably remove the TC damper as I see that the rubber weight is ripping away anyway.
But, back to the the front 2 skids - good fit, US Steel, seem to be well designed, cut, bent, but super heavy. I see why some companies offer a couple of thicknesses because these are slightly overkill for this dirt geezer. Aluminum would be great but steel is half the price. I was surprised at some of the rusting gouges (painted the skids myself) I put in them and didn't notice happening at the time - they have done some work, so I'm glad I have them.
