Don't know about the 2 door, but The Skid Row engine/trans skid vibrated pretty bad on my 4 door. Fixed now though. Skid plate did it's job well for me.

I have it on my 2 door and yes it also rubbed on the exhaust a bit after install, but it is an easy fix. Just hammer the exahust mount upwarde a bit so it clears.

If you have an automatic, be sure to check that your transmission cooler lines clear properly. One skid support runs right against these lines and could wear a hole in the line. Make sure you have adequate spacing between the two.

Overall, its a good skid plate. Very robust. I believe it the only skid that work with almost all long arm suspensions.
