The engine and transmission sit low on a JK, and rocks, stumps and ledges do not care what is down there. One hard hit on the underside can cost far more than the trip was worth.
The Rugged Ridge Engine/Transmission Skid Plate is made from powder coated steel with a rust resistant E-coating. It bolts on using the existing frame mounting locations, so the install needs no new holes in the frame. The Jeep needs 2.5 inch or more of lift to keep the plate from rubbing the driveshaft. Fit it, and the drivetrain has a steel shield underneath.
2.5 inch or more of lift is required to prevent driveshaft rubbing.
