Total Chaos Lower Link Skid
The new link skid is more compact then some out there, but seems to do a good job offering the protection where the protection needs to be. I've compared a few, and liked their thought process here.
This is what Total Chaos has to say...
As promised, here is a better shot of TC's new Lower Link Skids.

Lower Link Skids - 07+ FJ & 03+ 4Runner
Protect your factory FJ & 4Runner lower link brackets from rock damage by installing these TOTAL CHAOS bolt on lower link skid plates. Designed using 3/16” mild steel, these brackets bolt on using 9/16” grade 8 hardware. They are designed to work with factory lower control arm links and aftermarket upgrades. TC link skids are intended to bolt on but can also be welded to maximize the reinforcement to the factory bracket. They incorporate an added spacer that is designed to prevent the factory tabs from elongating like the other brands. The TC skids were designed to reinforce the gap created from the taper design in the factory bracket.
The reason for the 9/16" bolt instead of the stock 14mm? The difference between a 9/16" bolt and the factory 14mm bolt is very minimal however, the ever so slightly larger diameter of the 9/16" hardware actually fits through the stock link better than the 14mm. There is some slop with the 14mm bolt in the stock lower links; the 9/16" bolt eliminates this slop. One extra wrench shouldn't hurt, especially since (I believe) most aftermarket UCA's also have a 9/16" bolt connecting them to the spindle!Protect your factory FJ & 4Runner lower link brackets from rock damage by installing these TOTAL CHAOS bolt on lower link skid plates.
