I just got a full set of Mopar skids and was wondering if I should install these in a particular order, ie. back to front on the front 3 and also if I should replace the nutzerts and bolts with real nuts and bolts? if so what size/type is recommended?

thanks in advance,

well if you replace the nutserts with real nuts and bolts I would reccommend using Grade 8 SAE bolts b/c they are cheaper and easier to find, and if you find a way to do it I want to see some pics

the bolt size for the nutserts is M10 I dont know the length though its prolly about 30 and it is a 1.5pitch

The nut-serts are OK as long as you watch what you're doing and don't over-tighten when you install them. As for the skids, work your way from the back toward the front, that way the overlaps won't catch on anything if you have to slide across some rocks or such crawling forward.

or you can do what Im doing, Im installing the nuserts and then Im putting a bead of weld around them this way I know they wont come out or loosen up
