Review on πŸ”§ Universal Hitch Skid - Body Armor 5136, Black by Brian West

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid, sturdy and heavy, but sticks out further than I thought it would and interferes with the sensors.

In general I am satisfied with two minor problems depending on your opinion on the characteristics of the truck. First, it sticks out a little further than I expected and becomes a bit obvious. This could be good if you are a truck owner who likes flashy accessories. I'm no more subtle and intent on utility than proving to the other guy that my clutch cover is bigger than his. Which brings me to my next problem, it's interfering with the reverse sensors because it sticks out so far that the alarm goes off all the time when you're reversing. I had to disable mine to save the step. I like it and I like the skid plate, I have a steep driveway and it hits the curb and road at a sharp angle. Even on my larger pickup it still sticks to the bumper. The body pad allows the body to take the brunt of the load and force the truck to slide out of a steep turn without damaging the truck. By the way, I have air suspension and have to pull out of the driveway when the truck is lifted to the highest point.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Secret
