    I would put them on on the ground. You can use a jack to bring them up to the mounts.

    You don't need to lift the pieces above your head. Just my opinion. I don't know.

    What's the ideal drill bit size for these bolts?

    A little smaller than the size of the holes in the skid.

    Rather than clutter this thread with more of my pics, all of them can be found HERE.

    But, I will post the fun stuff.

    My set came in today. Still a few weeks out till I'm able to paint and install...thinking of going with an olive drab/army green.

    I installed my skids today. It all went pretty well. I did it with no help...which I wouldn't recommend. I also did in the rain which I also wouldn't recommend.

    The last section kicked my ass. I ended up scratching the shit out if it before calling a buddy to come over to help. Oh well, it's not like they're not going to get scratched up anyway. That's why I bought an extra can of paint.

    Jack stands....pfft. I'd get the skid on my stomach and roll sideways so my hip would jam it in pace and then screw it in.

    I put it on my thighs and use my legs as pivot points to get the skids up. I've done plenty by myself with no jack laying on my back.
