Icon lower control arm skid plates?

Anyone have or have used them? What's your opinion of them and the durability?

Birdman has them.

Wasn't much talk about the skids on that thread, just read through it. I am getting ICON 3.0's myself and was interested in the skids too. I think they would be a great addition. My only concern would be if you got into mud, then I would imagine quite a bit is going to settle on your LCA and get it off before it dies hard. Or remove the skid to clean it up better. Small price to pay for what it might protect.

I don't understand the point of them.
The lca is not prone to failure from hits, nor does the lca get dragged on rocks much.
The lca mounting point reinforcement plates that weld on are a much more useful addition in providing durability.

Moved to Suspension Mods forum as this is NOT 2014 specific.

Are they pretty stout? Just wondering if theyre worth the 400$ or just swap out control arms with camburgs

I've always wondered in muddy situations if too much mud collects on top of it and ends up being a PITA to clean later?
