Have an 03 Rubi OME lift with a 1 1/4" body lift. have a Rokmenn trans plate and thinking of installing there fuel tank skid. I have heard unless I REALLY pound it the later factory plate is tough enough, Opinions please. I any going to cut the factory plate down which would five me nearly 2" of additional clearance, so the plate will be off anyhow. Thanks in advance.
