Oil pan skid plate compatibility with diff skid?

[CopperMtnGuy]

Thinking about adding an oil pan skid plate, will there be any contact issues with the diff skids? I have the 2" Dynatrac Endurosport lift and the Rough Country diff skid on the front.

I have Ranch diff. Skids front and rear and a M.O.R.E. oil pan skid plate I can't think of any way they might come in contact with the other, unless i got rear ended by a freight train are you thinking of the entire skid system? Even that couldn't possibly touch the diffs but doesn't hurt to call the manufacturer and ask

My ASFIR oil pan skid contacted the Rough Country diff skid. This was with the 2.0. YMMV with the 3.6.

My 3.6 has the ASFIR and the RC won't fit.

I ended up going with ASFIR's solution to protect the diff cover. Thats really what needs protection in my opinion more so than the bottom of the housing.
The price has gon up like $70 since I purchased one.

I like Asfir but man, have the prices gone up like everything else. I loved my engine skid from them. For over $200, I’m thinking I’ll get the bare steel Motobilt M210 cover for $139.

You can get a nice ARB cover for $190.

Update: No issues with the RC front diff skid and the Evo engine/tranny and exhaust loop skids.

Why do you guys need to diff skid?

Protect the drain plugs on the bottom of the diffs. Easy to strip them or knock them loose.

running rancho diff skids and the evo oil pan and exhaust loop skid with zero issues

just add recessed drain plug and get an ARB diff cover.

Just finished installing ASFIR Engine skid with Rancho front diff skid in place, no interference. BTW, ordered the ASFIR on 9/24 and it was delivered free shipping on 9/27.
