Default skid plate for triangulated lowers?

I just wanna know if there's a company that makes a skid plate for the AX10 that would triangulate the lower links? Because searching in the aftermarket websites seems like nobody makes them unless It's something I have to make on my own. Seems like everyone always likes running their lower links straight because I heard that triangulating the lowers eliminates torque twist & the axles don't drive under the truck is that true? :?

yes it is true about how triangulated lower links help eliminate torque twist ,but if you cant find a skidplate that triangulates the lower links the biggest thing you can do is if youre running the stock transmission then you could mirror it , i did and it made a big difference when i was climbing up hills ,another thing to do is get 4 link plates and have a 4 link front and rear

All the mods that you mentioned is the same as what I did. The last & only thing I wanted to do is to triangulate the lowers! ;)

EEM does some of the nicest delrin work I have seen. Not that it matters as its a skid plate.

I saw the skid plate on your site & was wondering when will you have more in stock since I'm interested. Does it also come with the hardware like the screws & spacers?
