IFS skid plate options with tube bumper

I've been set on getting a Bud built skid plate in a couple of months, but looking at the pictures, I don't know how it would work with a tube bumper. I've got the ADO front tube bumper. They both use the same mounting holes.

In this picture http://www.budbuilt.com/new/ifs.html , does any body know of a skid plate that mounts on the bottom instead of the front OEM crossmember.

I think I notched the skid and then drilled new holes thru the AOR bumper for the top bolts.

Mine does. It's the one that came with my bracket lift .... If you want I can get close ups of the way it's all mounted

I see. Your's makes sense, but I've got the new style bumper which has some what of a skid plate where your front reciever hitch is.
