    Does anyone currently have this combo, what sort of cutting and modification did you have to do?

    I ordered Marlin's LCA Frame brace primarily because I had an issue with alignment techs rotating the cam bolt upside down, leaving it vulnerable or even flattening the ridges of the LCA's mounting bracket.

    I currently have the RCI A-Arm skids that I would like to keep but but can visually see where they might collide with the LCA Brace's skid.
    I'm guessing at the very least I'll need to grind the cam guard tab off, which is fine and am guessing I'll need to cut off 1/2 or so of material so that it doesn't collide with the LCA brace at full droop.

    Once they arrive, prior to having a shop install them, I'm planning to dry fit the LCA frame brackets with the truck at full droop to see how much material I'll likely need to remove from the RCI skid.

    I had to trim my skids(full belly RCI) to fit the Marlin kit, idk about LCA skids as i do not run them(what’s the point of them?)
