Hopefully they will reduce the price for the transmission skid separately like they did for the fuel tank.

Surprised to see it fits 2- and 4-door. I don't like the current aftermarket options for transmission skids - if I can get that separately for a reasonable price I'd be all over it.

Unfortunately the stock skids are the same thickness of a dirt bike skid and are almost worthless. Mine lasted 6 months of wheeling. Since then I've ran m.o.r.e. skids that were 3/16ths steel and turtled on a boulder and bent up the tranfercase skid past reusability. Next Venture 7075 smooth belly skids are the best option in my opinion. 1st test was Yansing gulch during supercell west . They did great and I gained a half inch of clearance with the weight reduction. Pics before and after my trip.

The front skid and engine skid are thick aluminum. Very light. Transmission skid is lightish, but thinner steel.

I have all the skids already, so I wonder if there is any way to just the spacer so I don't have to make my own version.

Not included in this package is the gas tank skid. It weighs more than all the other skids combined. My guess is 80+ pounds.

(Apparently it is 112 pounds).

If somebody does buy this, I would love to know if the spacer and sway bar brackets have part numbers.

… Ford just says OEM. Is the Raptor engine skid AL like the front skid?

Yes, it is thick aluminum like the front plate. Super light.

I have one in my garage waiting for installation once I figure out if I can just buy the spacer in this kit, or if I have to fabricate some spacer.

Maybe @flip or @Ducati1098 could look in their magic book to see if the spacer included in this kit has a part number and if that part is available separately. (Thanks in advance)

Might be better off contacting Ford Performance. I don't know of any way to get part numbers for specific items in an accessory kit. Maybe flip will know how though.

I would suspect that they would just want me to buy the kit. That would make my $200 investment in all of the skids including the gas tank skid less attractive. ha! . (Facebook marketplace)

I hoped that they would have the parts listed in some sort of crash part directory.

Thanks for the help

No idea what the spacer is but the trans skid bolts up to a BL with disco without any problems.

The spacer takes the place of the bracket that the Raptor has on both sides of the front skid that a regular bronco only has on one side.
