nth degree mobility makes an oil pan skid that requires no lift or drilling... but it just covers the oil pan... it bolts up to unused holes on the motor and tranny. It is in the 4wd Hardware catalog (4wd.com).
Skid Row also requires no lift or drilling (maybe to belly pan... not sure... but simple)... and it offers full coverage (engine and tranny up to belly pan)
I think warn makes a gas tank skid that requires no body lift... don't trust the stock one on a rock...
i personally am scrounging parts to run a setup similiar to Treefrog... I do not have a rubi... but it performs just as well (mine is the Rocky Mountain Edition, which copied the rubicon styling... rocker guards, wider painted fenders, etc but not the gearing, sye or lockers).
The body lift is something cheap and extremely easy to put on in your driveway in about an hour if you have help. I too run the JKS 1.25" lift...
I have a teraflex belly pan to go on (similiar to nth tummy tuck or jeep medic belly up). I run a kilby tank skid (body lift required). Just need to install an sye kit first
Don't forget the small ones... control arm skids (see my post on them and be warned), steering box skid, diff skids, and replace the diamond rockers with something that will rock... not just look good (offers little protection if you actually hit it... I have them... and they are bent up underneath...
Down the line... fender guards, etc...
You can never have tooooo much armor...

| I've put plenty of good dents and scratches in these skids over the last 2 yrs:
Skid row engine skid:
Warn Diff Skid:
A to Z rockers:
Warn Steering box skid:
You can see the skid row gas tank skid in this shot:
This skid doesn't give you any more clearance over stock, but you don't have to drop the tank to install it either
