Default Anyone Making Heavy Duty Aluminum Skids for the f150s???
Have Aluminum Skids from ASFIR (out of Israel) for my Jeep Liberty CRD...lightweight and strong.


Wondering if there are any out there for our trucks? ASFIR makes some for Raptors...but would like something closer to US.

RCI makes great Skids that bolt directly on. I run their skids from front to rear and also have their gas tank skid. One complaint is the Gas tank skid squeezes against the tank but its not a huge deal as it doesnt damage anything. Highly recommended if you have factory or no skids at all.

I do have the factory OFFROAD PACKAGE which has some semblance of skids...just want to step it up a bit.

The factory skids are like paper plates compared to the RCIs.

Buy RCI plates worth every penny. The stock skids are a joke. the only one really worth anything is the gas tank skid and even its poly.

If anyone can get me a CAD file I can fab anything you want. Including logo or initials. All CNC either water or plasma. RCI has a nice product

The only thing is bending thick steel or aluminum to the right angle. My hammering skills arent going to cut it
