4 3/8” x 1.25” Bolts
4 3/8” Flat Washers
4 3/8” Nylock Nuts​

1) Properly block and secure vehicle prior to installation.​

2) First you will need to locate the rear bolt of the lower control arm, this bolt will need to positioned so that the nut is on the inside of the frame.​

3) Place the hook shaped mounting support over the top of the front driveshaft, install it to the rear lower control bolt. Torque this bolt and nut to 130-ft.lbs.​

4) Place the skid up into position, using a floor jack makes this part of the job much easier, install the skid plate to the hooked mounting support using the bolts supplied.​

5) With skid plate up into position, mark and center punch the two rear holes. Drill with a small bit as a starter then drill a 3/8 hole in the crossmember. Install the two 3/8” bolts supplied and torque to 30-ft.lbs. Torque the front two 3/8” to 30-ft.lbs.​

6) Drill the three-side frame mounting holes with a small starter hole, these mounting bolts are self-starters and should be snug to the frame but do not over tighten.​

7) With the skid & crossmember in place check the clearance between crossmember and exhaust down pipe. If touching, loosen the exhaust manifold down pipe nuts and adjust for proper clearance.​

Now, take the cash you saved from using to find a bargin, and put it toward a membership!​

You shouldn't have any trouble making it work with a Tcase drop. I don't have any first hand experience with this skid but I don't see how it'd be too hard.
