Rugged Ridge Skid Interferes with Disconnect?
I installed the Rugged Ridge front skid to protect the disconnect. I've been hearing a light tapping noise and narrowed it down to the disconnect housing contacting the skid plate towards the rear while going over bumps or flexing. Under these conditions the disconnects housing moves/rotates a small amount, just enough to contact the plate.
Anybody else had this issue?

To date we have had no other calls regarding any contact..... 
If possible could you PM us some pictures?
We did have to make a change to the XHD bumper for 2009 -2010 JK's that had thicker disco isolators that were contacting the winch mounting plate on the passenger rear..
The only other odd thing we have seen was one 2009 JK that looked to have had front tow bar plates welded to the factory drop bar??
What year is your JK?
