Aftermarket Skid Plate?

[CT Chevy Connoisseur]

Has anyone added an aftermarket skid plate to replace the plastic one behind the front bumper of a 2020 2500HD?

I was thinking the same thing, except I haven't seen one that works with the stock front bumper. 

I'm installing a front hitch (when/if the truck actually shows up... lol), so I may do something customer with aluminum sheet across the hitch arms under the stock plastic cover.

On my Rubicon I went with aluminum skid plates, and beat the heck out of them on boulder strewn trails.  I was amazed how well they held up, even though they had some serious battle scars.  They were a lot lighter, which keeps the payload up.  I can weld aluminum but never needed to, and since this truck won't see near the abuse, I'm thinking they will outlast me... lol

 

If you find something you like, please post up what you get.

I'm also looking at a rear dif skid plate.  I think the rear diff and front cross member will take the most abuse on this truck for where I go.
