    I don't think they while work since they are built to be bolted on the stock location, 3 bolts up front and 2 in the rear. best is to contact him.

    Yea most/all brands use the factory mounting points. If you still have those then you might be ok but i suspect you would still need to fab up spacers up front. If not, them you might need something custom

    Have you checked out BudBuilt skids? They have worked great on my 96. I,ve had them on the truck for about 3 years now and they have saved my butt a few times.
