Description

RCI Offroad A-Arm Skid Plates - Ford Ranger (2019-Present)

3/16" Laser-Cut Steel. Smooth-Glide Protection. 100% Bolt-On Performance.

The Ultimate Defense for Your Front Suspension

Your Ranger's A-arms are among the most vulnerable components on the trail, hanging low and exposed to jagged rocks, stumps, and debris. A single hard hit can bend your suspension, ruin your alignment, or leave you stranded.

The RCI Metalworks A-Arm Skid Plates provide the ultimate defense for all on and off-road hazards. Engineered from heavy-duty 3/16" laser-cut steel, these plates custom-fit the contours of your 2019-Present Ranger to ensure your suspension remains protected while maintaining maximum ground clearance.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Factory A-arms are unprotected, making them "rock magnets" that are expensive to replace and critical to your vehicle's steering and safety.
The RCI Solution: A smooth, flat surface that allows your truck to slide over obstacles rather than getting hung up, backed by a high-strength rear flange for maximum rigidity.

Ranger Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The fit on my '21 Tremor was spot on. I’ve already taken a few hard hits to the front suspension while rock crawling, and these skids just laughed it off. They provide a nice flat surface that actually helps you slide over obstacles rather than catching the A-arm edge. 15-minute install, zero issues."

- David M., Ranger Tremor Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this affect my vehicle's alignment?

No. These skid plates bolt to the exterior of the A-arms and do not interfere with the alignment adjustment bolts or pivot points. You can install them without needing a fresh alignment.

+ Is drilling required for the 2024 Ranger models?

No. Just like the previous generation, the 2024+ Ranger A-Arm skids are a direct bolt-on addition using existing factory attachment points. No permanent modification is required.

+ Why do the 2024+ models weigh more?

The 2024+ Ranger chassis features redesigned suspension components. The skid plates for the new generation are larger and feature revised bracing to ensure complete coverage of the updated A-arm design, resulting in a weight of 25 lbs vs the previous 18 lbs.

+ Will these fit with aftermarket coilovers?

Yes. These skid plates are designed to wrap around the bottom of the lower A-arm and typically do not interfere with aftermarket shocks or coilover systems like Fox, King, or Icon.

+ How do these handle mud and debris?

The skids are designed with integrated openings to allow water, mud, and small rocks to escape, preventing buildup inside the A-arm that could lead to corrosion or added weight.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
