Which cab and bed combination do you have? I may be going to see my dad this week he has an '06 extended cab. I may be able to take some measurements for a skid plate that runs from the front crossmember back then, you'll just have to have a metal shop shear the plate at the correct measurements and angles.

I have a supercrew with 6 1/2 foot bed. Not sure about the OP though

I am not sure if this would be helpful or not. I don't know anything about the brand or quality...just ran across that searching for the same as you.

I contacted ProComp about that kit. It's designed to work with their 6" lift kit. Won't work with non lifted trucks. I only have a level.

Unhappy RCI skid plates

any one else having problems getting RCI skid plates. I have been waiting 7 weeks since they charged my credit card and still not shipped. There web site says 1 to 3 weeks to ship. I called 3 times so far. I had them on my last truck but did not remove them before I traded it in on my 2018. Wish I did.

RCI makes a great product. I really liked them on my 2016 f150. Ordered aluminum plates 49 days ago. Still not shipped. Credit card charged 20 March. I called 3 April, 16april and 30 April. Last time they told me they ran out of aluminum and had to order more. Web site says 1-3 weeks delivery. I suppose I will call again today. Wish the FX4 package covered the transmission.

As requested: The factory FX4 "skid plates" are not really skid plates. They're more like windage trays for the bottom of the truck to keep things clean and add to the effort to meet EPA regs.

OK, they're junk.

Get real skid plates!

Where. No one sells aftermarket skid plates for our year trucks anymore.
