Default Rugged Ridge Skidplate w/ a Fab Fours Lifestyle Bumper? Will it fit?

Hey there. I've a FF Lifestyle front winch bumper and I'm trying to find a skid plate that will protect all the linkages, sway bar disconnects etc that are hanging there at the mercy of rocks and logs. Curiously, FF doesn't seem to make anything but I did find a stand alone skid plate from Rugged Ridge that is supposed to be compatible with stock bumpers. I assume this means the mount points are standard and it may not interfere with the bumper.

Has anyone installed a skid plate with the FF Lifestyle bumper?

Anyone fit a skid plate under this bumper? Anyone? Bueller?

Or-Fab makes one that attaches to the cross member with two bolts at half the price of the RR one.

As the previous poster mentioned, we have one and it's fairly inexpensive. Comes powdercoated wrinkle black. Can be found through several sponsors of this sight for about $55.


Side view.

Just a quick update. The RR skid plate fits under the Fab Fours lifestyle bumper with a couple minor tweaks. Any professional shop will be able to install it. It looks great and is solid. Will post a couple pics when I get a chance.
