Hi all.
I’ve installed 3 out of 4 skids from 4xInn.’s, and overall i’m pleased with the fit/finish so far. I’m having some issues on the last one - the tcase skid, though, so i thought i’d ask for some help.
The 4th skid seems to clear the exhaust pipe crossover, seems to line up on the front edge where the allen screws go, but on the sides where the brackets hang down from the frame rails, (the ones bolted to the back side of the sliders) the four bolt holes look to be off by about 1/8-1/4 of an inch. Skid lands towards the rear of the vehicle a bit too far.
Looking back at my install, i’d say that all the skids seemed to be about 1/16-1/8 towards the rear, even though the front skid is pushed as far forward as the slotted holes go.
Do the drop/side plates have fore/aft adjustment?
Here’s a link that shows the skid plate attachments:

The two lower silver fastener locations are the ones that can’t be installed/started. The zinc coated hardware is 100% installed. I'm thinking I probably need to start with loosening the zinc hardware to see if I get any play in those brackets.
