    lol at the reeeeeeee comment

    Nahh it doesnt matter to me one bit, just trying to help you avoid the time and effort re-doing all the skids. Theres just no way some thin pieces of aluminium can tweak the steel frame of the truck enough to notice. But hey, at least now you know double sure all the skid plate bolts are tight :thumbsup:
