I thought they were both around $700 ?I like the idea of the ICON Delta Joint but can’t justify the nearly $200 price increase from the BDS Arms.
Thanks for the info. I may change course towards BDS too.

I like the adjustability of the Ranchos. Had good results with the non-adjustables on an old '92 Explorer.
@Black Tell me more about the Bilsteins. That's the perfect lift height (1 to 2 inches). I want to avoid more than 2" due to our independent suspension. How is the lift achieved? What's the part #?
Here's the front hitch. Curt 31068 (link to Amazon)

It's really saved my truck from damage a few times, though it does reduce front clearance significantly. I needed it for other purposes, so in balance, it works for me.
For gas tank skids, I'm thinking about fabricating one myself (and use the SSV straps - thanks @Black for the part #'s). The design looks like we would just need to be able to cut, bend, and drill through thick plate steel.
@iaazan. Yes. It was very easy to mount. I ended up NOT cutting the fascia, but I did remove the air dam. It works as designed. Only thing I didn't think about is if the trailer is tall, you can't see around it like you can when you're hooked up to the rear hitch (with rear view mirrors). Your boat might not be too tall, as long as you can see over it. I ended up only using it for navigating my 10' tall travel trailer through extreme angles in tight spaces where the long wheelbase of the EL would not allow backing the trailer in.How do you like the front hitch? Looks like it mounts up and out of the way pretty well. I'd like to get one for moving my boat in and out of the RV gate on the side of the house, where I have to navigate a low retaining wall and pool pump. Was it easy to mount up?
