Looking at Rear shock Skid plates, Next Venture Motorsports vs BroncBuster?

[OK_Hunter]

I'm running these from True North Fabrications... Work great...I bought the unfinished steel and painted them myself (sasquatch version).

The water and mud "drain" part is definitely a good idea, but that was also something I was concerned about it getting damaged. They are significantly cheaper than the NVM's... How long have you been running them?

For as long as I've had my Bronco...about 9 months now. You can see scratches on the skid in the picture. Nothing has touched the actual shock yet... I have the Sasquatch 2.0 Suspension fyi.

Had valkarie's, now I have the RCI and I love them. Includes the trailing arm mounts as well which funny enough, we've danced a bit close to those, so for an extra little bit it was worth it to me.

The night shift is playing tricks on me. I thought there was one that combined a rear lower control arm and shock skid into one piece. I can't find it.

What model Bronco do you have? I've been looking at these but the site says "Fitment has only been verified on 4DR Badlands Sasquatch" and RCI isn't the best at responding to emails asking about it.

Someone else posted it. Dv8's.

Is there a meaningful difference in clearance loss with all these? Seems to me that one of the design goals of the Barnes to minimize clearance loss.
