    Not sure why you would think that, what would be different on the higher lifts? I can modify if there are different.

    Ummm. The 4 inch lift kits use drop down brackets for the lower control arms and also drops down the front differential. A skid that would bolt on a stock or 2 inch lifted XK or WK in that big of a skid would never bolt on a vehicle with a 4 inch lift.

    Good to know, I have not looked under a Super-lift. I will have to get my hands on one to see what I can come up with.

    Do you need a WK in Phoenix to test fit? I was very close to buying a 4xg front skid plate but happened across these forums. I live in Chandler. Pretty damn sure I saw your XK driving down the 101 a few weeks ago.

    Yes I do. PM me with your contact info and I will let you know when they are ready to test fit. I need a Wk for MANY other projects too so maybe we can work a deal on some future product too.
