Anyone get crafty yet and make a skid for a 8.8 ford rear end? She's a little closer to the rocks now than the 35 , but it looks a lot stronger.

The skid pictured does not look like it would cover the pinion flange.87manche said:it might drag more, but I'd rather drag that than my pinion flange

If you'd learn how to drive you wouldn't be worried about hitting the pinion flange.

Don't bother. The hunk of iron that makes up the center section can handle dragging over rocks, evidenced by all of us that do it on a regular basis. All the skid will do is reduce your ground clearance causing you to get hung up more often.

I've dragged my 8.8 boat anchor over a lot of rocks and the only ill effects were peeling back the stock diff cover.
Adding anything below the pumpkin on a diff that already hangs lower than stock is just asking to catch on something, skidplate or not IMO.
