normally I would agree but 90% of 4r owners (5th gen) dont even wheel their rigsI would go with a full set of RCI metalworks skids and new tires.
I prefer to have protection on the underside first before a lift since I know my famous last words would be "oh I can totally do that" and would like to have some armor under there in the event I hit something, since this is still my daily driver and having it down for any length of time is just not a risk I want to take.
