Default East End Machining skid plate

I'm looking to buy a new skid plate for my AX10 since my old skid plate has clearance issues between the lower link and my new Vanquish Dig.
Should I get the single reverse triangulation, or the double?
I don't know enough about link geometry to know the pros and cons of each.
I did try searching, but my search-Fu is weak.

i have the dual triang. skid. I don't have any clearance issues. I didn't measure the wheelbase before i put it on, but i don't think it changed.

I run the single triangulation EEM skid on my sportsman truck. I chose this because takes away almost all the rear steer. The front is just inside the frame and allows for a smooth transition from the front lower links without having 1" of skid/frame overhang.

I use an EEM dual triangulation as a direct replacement for a standard skid in my Frogger. I don't run a dig, but have checked and can fit a DNA one in there should I wish to at a later date.

In theory the maximum available wheelbase must be less, as the lower link has now become the hypotenuse of virtual right angled triangle and not the "opposite" that it was when running parallel. In practice do I notice this - No. I wish that I did actually, as it would raise the belly height a little more!
You can see how it looks in the pictures attached. In terms of space the Frogger chassis is very similar to stock. The photos showing the underside were before I added the Vanquish Razors. The shot of the rear from above shows the Razors in place. These allow you to move the links further out, giving you more space to play with.
Hope that this helps
