I just got the 2 piece skids, my truck didn't have one. It does have the diff drop. I was reading that the rear skid plate needs spacers. Does anyone know how thick they need to be?

Installation Instructions
 
It says you "may need spacers" if you have the diff drop. How about try it and see if it fits. If it doesnt, get a washer or two to fill in the extra space.
 
But the install instructions say you may need to use the spacers that came with the diff drop kit on the back two bolts.

I was able to pull this from the Wayback Machine - for those looking:

However, I'm looking for how to mount the fuel tank skid - anyone have that link?

Edit - Savage never made one and it was hard for me to learn I don't actually have a fuel tank skid, as that is the one I'd want the most.
