    So I was attempting to put the oem front skid plates on and after just a few minutes I realized it wasn't going to fit correctly. Is this do to a diff drop? Is this what I have pictured?bif so does this look correct?

    That be a diff drop. The skids should still mount up, just need to make a couple spacers and use longer bolts for the 2 middle mounts.
