    I wouldn't be too upset but I wouldn't leave it like that. Personally I'd throw some thick washers under all four mounts and run it like that. I guess you know that you're getting all the clearance you possibly can this way though huh... :p

    Diff drop ? I just checked and apparently the shop installed a diff drop for me without me even asking for it.

    Hey cracker did you use stock hardware to mount it ? I didn't receive any hardware so I'm assuming stock should be good enough.

    Yeah, You have to take both old skids off (derp) and the two brackets. You will have a lot of extra bolts in the process. You'll use 4 of the "big" ones and two of the small ones. The big ones go on in front and middle. The little ones go on in the back.

    Since I installed it myself, I use cardboard to slide it under the truck and mounted the two front bolts first (don't tighten). Then, go to the back and lift the skid up (don't be a pussy) and put in the two smaller bolts (again, don't tighten). Then, use the little bit of play that there is to line up the two middle bolts but this time, tighten them. For mean, lining up the middle bolts was just a small micro adjustment of about 2/32" or so of an inch. So great fit!

    Tighten down the middle and the back, but take the fronts out as you now have to install your valence if you have one such as the allpro bumpers. If not, tighten it up.

    Ah, sorry about the verbosity. I've been doing a lot of writing lately.
