I noticed my diff drop does not allow the middle bolts to go back in their holes with the stock plates...time for an upgrade!

Not to steer away the thread too much, but do you get any rubbing with 285s and an all suspension lift?

Not after trimming the front fender, some other small plastic spots, and pounding the pinch weld. I have 97 LC wheels which tend to be in the perfect backspace zone.

Lots of info on the wheels if you search, many people run'em.

The front skid and belly pan are about 250 each or 450 for the set. Shipping was more reasonable than I thought it would be.

Out of respect for the OP,

In theory they bolt right on. I had to make some hole size & hardware size adjustments on the belly skid, I think Aaron did too.
