Question: 2012 JKUR Long arm skid plates
I have a 2012 JKU R manual and just purchased a teraflex lcg 4 inch long arm kit.
So my question is what skid plate will work with the long arm kit?
The skid I am most concerned with is the one the one that covers the exhaust. I did get an afe y pipe, I don't know if this makes a differences on needing this skid or not.
Thanks,
Johnathon

you should be able to run the evo protek skid system without any problems.

EDIT: scratch that, i read your post too quickly and realized that you are asking in regards to long arms. these may not work.

Here is the answer I got so far. I don't understand it and waiting for a more detailed reply.
Posting this for info purposes.
You only need that then for the exhaust. However you will more than likely need a new front driveshaft also.

Welp looks like the little loop before the y pipe can stay. I look forward to getting this lift installed.
You do not need to remove the loop with that y pipe. You can run the stock rear drive shaft.
Still no clue on the skid plate.
