compatibility with fabtech lift and bumper/skid plate?
i have an 02 xtd cab sr5 v6 trd tacoma, im gunna throw a 6 inch lift on it with 33x12.5x16 bfg mudders. now my question, i noticed a lot of the tacomas with fabtech 6" lifts no longer have the skid plate on, y is this? wouldnt u want the skid plate on to protect the drop down diff? furthermore im going to remove the stock bumper and place an armor front bumper with a winch system on it. but will there be complications with the armor plate on the front lower part of the armor bumper and the fabtech drop down kit? do i have to remove the stock trd skid plate to put on the new bumper? or even just to put on the fabtech lift? input would be greatly appreciated.

^^link to the allpro offroad bumper im interested in. it says it has an integrated skid plate system? does this replace the trd stock plate or cover the fabtech drop down kit or is it not even compatible with the fabtech 6" kit? how can i protect the drop down diff? or is there no way to do that rly?

Just not enough demand.
This is the "integrated skid plate."
It will not cover any of the lower diff drop stuff.

ok thanks for the feedback! i guess i gotta go coilovers then. just wanted bigger tires than what coilovers could allow without having to put on big wheel spacers. im thinkn icon coilover front and deaver new 8leaf pack rear. that will give me 3" i think that should be enough for 33x11.5x16 right (without rubbing)?
