    Will the Budbuilt IFS skid work with a Toytec diff drop? I'm ready to bolt skids up today but things are not quite lining up for me. There are no questions and answers or anything helpful on their website.

    From what I have seen and heard it will not.
    Also - FWIW there are many who claim the diff drop is not necessary either...
    Best of luck! :thumbsup:

    After removing the diff drop, it would appear my BAMF LCA skids will make contact with the Budbuild IFS skid. Damn. I'll likely need to cut the IFS some to make clearance.

    Craig,
    I saw you have Budbuilt skids and BAMF LCA skids as well, did you have to cut your IFS for LCA skid clearance? Did you have to cut a bit of your IFS skid bracket to properly "hang" the IFS skid on the hooks?

    Sorry.

    IIR I took a small 1"x1" corner off to fit the LCA skid on the passenger side. The drivers side fits fine.
    I'm pretty sure there are pics in Jerry's LCA group buy thread of what I did...
