Is there any one that has a front skid plate on there truck? If so where does it mount to the frame? I need some measurements or pictures because I would like to make my own. Just for looks.

Thanks:icon_welder:

I took some pictures of where my stock skid plate mounts. I'll post the pictures when I'm back from class.

I have a thread right under this one with pics of my 03. I bolted it to the two sway bar holes and the front elongated hole.

Thanks for the pictures. Could you send me some measurements? How hard was it to do the torrsion bar crank? I bought new 2"-3" torrsion bar keys do I need to use a torrsion bar removal tool?

Thanks

The crank isn't hard at all. And you can buy my skid plate off me if you want. I'll measure it later. It'll be pretty worthless for my rig pretty soon.

For the crank:
Jack your truck up to take the weight off the suspension

Crank away. Make sure to crank the same on both sides or you'll sit funny.

See what you can do with the basic crank before you try the keys. IMO I got mine to sit flat with out aftermarket keys
