UCF makes good things, based off other skid reviews I would bet you will be happy. Did you also get that free shipping?

Haven’t ordered just yet. I am going to have to order part by part. My girlfriend would lose it if I dropped 1800$ on everything I need at once lol.

This is my parts list as of now
Skid undercover fab $452
Savvy upper rear control arms $285
Sye and tw driveshaft $575
Currie 1inch motor mounts $122
Track bar relocation $ 60
Total .................................... $1494

I also have and recommend the savvy arms. Also with TW. Are you doing a body lift? If so the savvy aluminum is the same recommendation.

Ideally you want to be able to do the tuck and then measure for you driveshaft. TW gets them out fast so you could have pretty mininal downtown.

Looks like UCF is your only choice. @Jerry Bransford, you had a 32RH TJ at one point, right? What were you using for the belly-up skid on yours?

I run a UCF highest clearance tuck. But it's on my 2005 auto. I don't know what the hangup is with your year automatic Jeeps. Personally, it's the best offroad performance mod I have ever done.
If you don't know, a tuck is a project. Worth it, but a big project. Not a bolt on and go affair. Clearancing the tub and moving small appendages out of the way. And redrilling mount holes, etc. Fit, refit, etc.
I'm no pro but it took me a few days to get it right on my 05' TJ. Welding was involved.
If your jeep is a daily driver, it will take some serious planning.

the 32RH uses a single mount that looks like a bridge assembly with an anti Torque bushing like the top of a front shock off to one side. Way different than the newer ones. Tim

I didn't have a belly-up for that TJ Chris and yes it had a 32RH.

Funny thing is the only reason I got auto so my girlfriend can drive it. I’ve always owned a manual up to this point . Oh well
