    86 lbs to be exact :thumbsup: by far the easiest way to drop it is to put the truck in a spot, use a floor jack and put it under the center of the skid plate to support the weight, then undo the bolts and let the jack support it, get in place to catch it in case its off center a bit and let it down slowly with the jack, and then let it rest on the jack while you do what you need to do. Barely takes longer than normal that way

    Daaaaaannnng thanks for the tip! Good thing the truck has enough ground clearance and I don't need my floor jack for lifting it

    I mean I'm not weak or anything:muscleflexing:, but getting it back on there sounds like it's going to be a pain in the you know where

    thats what the floor jack is for my guy :thumbsup: I try to work smarter, not harder and trying to man handle that thing back into place AND fasten the bolts is awful, speaking from personal experience :sick:
