Default skids for 2010 rubicon

ok I have shrockworks front and rear bumpers and just ordered bushwacker flat fenders from Northridge 4x4. Now I am wanting to beef up underside. Most of my wheeling is very rocky trails here in AZ, so need advice on what skids are needed for my jeep.

I did benchmark designs rock crawler oil pan, evap skid and rugged ridge e disco skid. There are a lot of opinions about skids as I am sure you will find out. I am careful with my jeep and am confident in my setup.

"needed"? nothing, your factory skids are plenty strong enough and are more than up to the task of protecting your jeep and without the added weight, trapping of all kinds of unwanted heat and troubles of working on your jeep. in fact, i not only recommend you keeping them, it's what ALL my friends and i have been running for almost 5 years now. "what you might want to get"? some kind of basic oil pan protection like the kind that rancho makes.
