I've ordered the rear shock and diff skid plates from Next Venture Motorsports:
https://nextventuremotorsports.com/collections/ford-bronco-armor-skids
It's thicker than elsewhere and more expensive, but seems pretty well put together. I did ask about A arm skids, and they said they usually work with straight axle, but would be looking at IFS-specific plates in the near future. In lieu of that, I'd probably look at Metal Cloak.

One day would like to get their rock rails and belly plating w/UHMW, but that's going to be after portals and stage 3 rack. I mean, I have rails/plates... So that will be an upgrade in a couple years.

I second the JCR. I have their full kit (sans A Arms)
What I like : Engine skid can be mounted with stock or aftermarket bumpers and Great coverage with their full engine,t case, trans, gas tank.
What I don't like: Price, Gas skid alignment took alot of influence, for a stock oil change, it may or may not need the engine skid off (But it's easy to take back off as needed)
however I have the Ronan plug So was able to get to it without removing the skid.

I'm looking for a simple 2.7 transmission plate to protect the plastic pan from road debris. I won't be taking this thing off road. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I got tank skid and transfer case skid from ASFIR. They went onto my OBX SAS 4 dr very easy. I didn’t even jack it up, just enough clearance for me to install. They are thick aluminum. I caught a sale and they ship fast.

I have posted on this subject a few times, big part is posting what you want to do! Lots of what's best is for your specific use.
I do rocks, so 3/16" flat steel is the best for what I do. These fancy skid systems are not holding up so keep it simple and modular.
