I have a 2.5 - 3.0" SL and a transfer case drop kit with the stock skid. No SYE and no MML. Jeep is my DD and sees very mild dirt fire roads with an occasional rock patch, and often outer beach soft sand. Never enough to lift a wheel. No vibrations now and given it's a DD, I want to be as certain as possible that I don't take two steps backwards and have to chase vibrations again.
I'd like to gain back a little clearance lost to the stock shovel. Considering something like the Barnes bolt on skid which claims to recover about an inch of clearance. Will I still need the drop kit? I have a t-case cable shifter to install when the stock skid comes off. I would like to avoid the SYE, MML and changing drive shafts.
I know what I don't know, so please educate me.. Exactly what do I need to install the Barnes skid and not have issues? And what optional items might I want while I am in there?
