Lol. Total understandable. The biggest reason I am not going to install the plate is because you have to remove 4 bolts (2 on each side, leaving the 2 bottom bolts alone) on the diff cover. There is a small chance that the cover would leak. If that happens then you have to remove drain the diff oil and remove the cover. Then clean off old seal and replace. Replace cover, tighten and replace oil. Hopefully won't happen.

Oh, you aren’t talking about the same install as this thread states. I’m referring to the lower shock mount skids.

Sorry. I went off topic bu adding the front diff skid. Has anyone had any problems with the LCA skids when installing a MC GC lift? One mechanic said that the skids would interfere with the lift.

I don’t have the MC GC lift yet, but I don’t think that they’ll interfere with any arms.

EVO

Do you have a JL? If so did you see the Evo bracket being wider than the stock bracket and when tightening it , it was not keeping lower shock mount from having play ?

Did not experience a leak when I installed the Rancho rear diff skid.

I used the Rancho front diff cover and had no leaking problems. Last weekend I had the opportunity to test out the underarmor on a nice rocky desert mountain trail. When you hear and feel the clunk of metal against rock, you appreciate the plates.
