    Get a 3 pack of step bits from harbor freight. Just don't use an impact driver to spin them or you will snap the shaft. Just advice from personal experience

    Looking on the website, do I need to select qty 2 or do they come as a set?

    I figured they were since I'm sure they're handed. We spoke last week by email, you were checking that I still wanted to switch slider order to bolt on. If I ordered these can they ship together or do these go through a different carrier?

    if you have a full face shield, wear it. If not, wear safety glasses and minimize exposed skin when drilling. Hot metal burns a little when it hits the skin.

    I've never had any reports of that. How many threads are sticking out past the bolt?

    I'm wondering if that torn boot is flexing down more at full droop. Also is it an aftermarket CV?

    Well I'd like to know if this is only yours, We could look into pan head sex bolts if this is something that's common but hell not one single person has said anything about it being that close so I'm stumped. maybe alignment do you have your specs? Also does your boot rub the LCA?

    Yeah that's very odd worst case we could cut you some 1/8th thick square washers with a welded nut on the inside and just use a shorter bolt.

    Also running 295/70/17 though so maybe the width of the tire could be the reason

    Our LCA skids should clear just about every aftermarket skid plate. Now I've not tested them all but the only one I've found to have clearance issues was the Budbuilt.
