If it is just a skid plate you need, build a custom one, that will be easy.

Default 4" suspension lift

Do you have experience with the 4" lift on '92 Dakota. I purchased a '92 with this lift installed and at the time it had 33" tires. The inside 1/3 of tread was bald. I put 31" tires on and now its eating the inside tread again. I took it to shop but they would not align, said too many wore out parts. I replaced upper/lower ball joints and pitman arm. I havent taken back in for alignment yet. I noticed the upper a-arm seems to be adjusted as far as they will go but the alignment is still off.

I don't have experience with this kit, but my guess is if it is maxed out on the adjustment there probably is something that is bent causing the mis-adjustment. Replace all the necessary parts, then take it back to the shop for an alignment. If needed take it to a 4wd specialty shop or offroad shop they usually will be used to adjusting lifted vehicles.

its also possible the torsion keys are cranked to far pulling top arm inward causing inward tilt of upper tire causing inside edge wear..
