Why would you want aluminum?

If you actually plan on using your skids get steel and not worry about a little weight savings.

EVO Protek Skid System is nice. It protects the drivetrain vitals, weld on some CA skids, steering stabilizer flip, and HD dif covers and it's a complete setup!

Is that the synergy relocation bracket? Did you take the track bar bolt out to install?
