SEARCHED: Budbuilt Skid with 1" Diff Drop.
Anyone know if a Budbuilt skid plate will fit with a SS 1" Diff Drop? I searched but only got stuff on how strong Bud's are.

I told him I have a 1" diff drop when I ordered it. If I remember correctly Bud said they tested it and their regular skid would fit with no issues. So, I don't think my skid is any different than anyone elses. I've got about a 1/4" clearance between the diff mount arms and the skid, which is plenty since neither move.

im building my own, i plan on going with 1/8. i dont mind bending up skid plates, afterall thats what they are there for. my fear is bending them into components im trying to protect, or punching through with a rock.
if i am punching through 1/8 thick steel with rocks, im doing something wrong! as for bending. i plan on strengthening certain areas with angle and dimentional tube. 3/16 is half again heavier than 1/8 inch. 1/8 is 5 pound per square foot, while 3/16 is 7.5 pounds per square foot.
