2010-2018 Dodge Ram 2500 Armor & Skid Plates

Serious underbody protection becomes essential with purpose-built 2010-2018 Dodge Ram 2500 Armor & Skid Plates that shield vulnerable components from the punishment of rocks, stumps, and trail debris that would otherwise cause catastrophic damage. These heavy-duty defensive components deflect impacts away from vital systems like oil pans, transfer cases, steering components, and fuel tanks, giving you the confidence to tackle challenging terrain without constant anxiety about expensive mechanical failures stranding you miles from civilization with a loaded truck.

 

The armor requirements for your fourth-generation Ram 2500 vary dramatically depending on your typical terrain and how aggressively you push your truck's off-road capabilities during recreation or work situations. Full belly armor provides comprehensive protection spanning from front differential to rear axle, creating an essentially impenetrable shield that handles the most brutal rock gardens and obstacle courses, though this approach adds significant weight that affects payload capacity and fuel economy during normal driving. Alternatively, strategic placement of key skid plates protecting only the most vulnerable and expensive-to-repair components offers a more balanced approach that maintains reasonable weight while defending against the most likely damage scenarios. Material selection between steel and aluminum involves tradeoffs—steel plates offer maximum impact resistance and lower cost but add considerable weight, while aluminum reduces the penalty on your truck's carrying capacity while providing adequate protection for most situations, though at higher initial investment.
