    Yeah i took out my skid because I'm swapping it out with my new one, and dropped it out once i was done cussing and slamming all my fingers trying to get all the bolts out.. The end links (both sides) just ended up a battle i wasn't going to win.. but then i took out the power tools and won

    yeah bolts and nuts that haven't moved in 6 years always put up a fight haha always go the easier route i say. other wise you fart around on a bolt with a wrench all day, when if you weren't saving it could have cut it in 5 mins.

    I always keep a little blow torch on hand if you have enough room to maneuver it. Heating up the nut or surrounding area helps with things breaking free. just need to be careful of burning yourself, or melting things that shouldn't be melted

    Well i got the skid on and took the truck out to see how it feels without the sway bar.. definitely more body roll but nothing crazy, and i certainly feel safe still driving it. Off road, the front flex way better without it. I got some shots of me stuffing the front, nothing too crazy, but a huge upgrade from before:
    First the new skid:

    And the front flexing:

    no swaybar on 886 is awesome for everyday driving. much smoother on back country roads and what not. Question: do you ever plan on getting sliders??

    Well idk what these things are but they've been in my garage now for about a year so i decided to finally get them out and get them ready to be welded to the truck. They will be on the truck sometime next week if everything works out.
