bumper and skid plate length

[explorermatt001]

I am thinking of building a bumper for the front of my x. I have the superlift kit on the front so i have done some measurements and find that the skid plate will be somewhere about 35 inches long. This will be the prerunner style bumper with a skid plate coming from the bumper to the diff. My question is, do you think the sid plate will look just too big on there? whats the length of some of the other skid plates out there?

Are you keeping the stock bumper on like cgriffin? If not, and you go from basically the bottom of the grill to the front IFS crossmember/bracket, it will be a lot more verticle than his.

Wouldn’t it hit the bottom of the radiator?

Well it would start a few inches in front of the bottom of the grill.
