I agree I have the Outgear Solutions Skids and they're definitely BEEFY.

A friend helped me install the Total Chaos rear link skids today. It sure looked simple watching TC's how-to video, but actual install was a pain.
One thing I would recommend is to not disconnect the rear links from the axle side. Loosening the nut on that end is fine, but there is no need whatsoever to completely remove the link. The hardest part of the install is aligning the bushings in the bolt holes, even if you use ratchet straps to prevent the axle from moving around, which we did.
After drilling out the 14mm bolt holes to 9/16", I had to put the link back in using the old bolt, and then hammered the mount lips just a bit so that the TC bracket could slide on. Both my TC skids were too narrow on the interior and wouldn't go on using a dead blow hammer. We followed TC's directions precisely, but they still wouldn't clear without hammering in the lips. Once the TC skids were on, I hammered the lips back to where they were originally.
The good news is these things are so snug I doubt they would ever need to be welded.
