    when re installing my skid plate, the bolts just keep spinning and won’t torque to spec. they aren’t stripped, i removed the washer, so just the big and small spacer in the two closet to the front. weld nuts on top don’t appear to be spinning with the bolt so those seem to be okay. i’m stumped and need some help, thanks!

    Pro skid plate ? OEM or aftermarket ?
    If the supplied spacers aren't in correctly you may want to start there

    2 different sizes of spacers were probably included. I’d confirm the shorter/longer ones are in the proper orientation
