I run them. Full installation pics here:

And yes, I'd buy them again. Haven't beat them up too much yet but they've held up to what I've given them.

X2 ^^^ although I don't have pics right now. They're scraped up, but holding up just fine. No complaints here.

Thanks for the link! Will the exhaust skid fit with exhaust spacers? Install seems pretty strait forward.

No it will not
Is there any solution to make them work?

Get an aftermarket drive shaft . Better solution than exhaust spacers anyway.

I run them, beat on them, and they work. I would buy them again without hesitation.
Edit: I think your just down the road from me... If you want to see them in person or need a second set of hands for the install just let me know.
Best picture I got...

I have the engine and transmission skids but not the cross member skid as i figured it would trap too much mud and sand and i'd just replace the cross member if it gets to beat up.
I'm running synergy exhaust spacers as a temporary solution to the driveshaft clearance issue until i decide which way i want to go with a new shaft. They still didn't provide enough clearance for 27.5" shocks so I had too remove the exhaust heat shield under the driveshaft and reshape the tube a little to provide about an 1/8" of clearance at the point when the factory reprezza joint in the driveshaft bottoms out.
New shaft is definitely a better solution.

Thanks for the responses, that is a sick picture!
For a drive shaft is anyone running a tatton with the teraflex rzeppa joint? OR is DC the way to go?

I'd keep it simple and stick with a DC shaft. U-joints are cheap and easy to find for future service or trail breaks. And I can't say I heard anything good about the Teraflex joint.

My buddy has a used coast shaft he is willing to let me have. Better to buy new or is used okay?

Used is fine, as long as your length is correct there shouldn't be an issue

I have all three, running the EVO leveling kit, so under 3" lift. I did bang up my cross member skid a bit on the last trail, but better than the alternative. It's hard to see in this pic, but it is there.

I don't know anyone who has a lot of experience with the Terabreak joint, because it hasn't been out that long. But just looking at it, I don't see how it would fix the problem of the steep angles.
I think I'll grab this DC shaft and remove my spacers so I can fit the skid system
