Cutting stock skid for dfi drop

Searched and searched and I know I saw pics of a skid that had been cut to fit with a dif drop, apparently only certain years need this but mine does, anyone got any pics?

You just need to use longer bolts for the 2 back ones. My diff drop came with them, altough they were the wrong thread so I had to go to hardware store and get the right ones anyways.

Dang! I get it now, I assumed the longer bolts and spacers where for the back of the front skid, so I couldn't get it to work it would hit the dif drop. My bolts are the wrong thread too, another reason why I didn't think it would work without reusing the stock bolts. Thanks guys, I feel pretty stupid bout now...
