I am sure we will be able to modify your skidplate to work...if not make a new one. You are so right about not adding more bolted pieces to the ARB.... the plan is to cut the ARB mount portion off then fabricate and weld on a new mount that will be tied together side to side that will bolt on to the factory locations...maybe more but we will see when it all starts coming together. The idea is for it to be winch compatible and even stronger than just the stock ARB and how it mounts. I will be making drawings of the work and will be able to fabricate more for anyone that runs a body lift...if you are running a 1" or 3" body lift the design will work for those as well with a slight change.
