Skid Plates

I'm finally about to put the front skid and belly pan on from Budbilt. The company says the belly-pan fits on top of the front skid creating a lip there where the belly-pan steps up/out. I was hoping for the opposite profile, but they say the fit is better that way. They also say you can check the fitment to see if the belly-pan will fit under the front skid, and I assume you'd need to mount the belly-pan 1st to check this. I should email them, but figured ask members here also. I know some 1st gen. folks are running the front and belly-pans from them, any advice? Thanks
