From instructions: Line up holes of frame rail, gas tank skid and bumper. Gas tank skid goes between bumper mounts and frame rails.
So if im reading this right the gas tank skid goes on before the bumper does? why is that?

makes sense i suppose, skid goes on before hitches etc otherwise ya have a heck of a time gettin the skid on if you're even able to get it on at all, , plus it lowers the skid?

That would mean if you need to remove the skid, you have to remove the bumper first. I guess if your willing to loose 3/16" of ground clearance underneath the skid, you could install the skid last.

I did not use it, but you can put it on your flares after you cut them to make it look clean.
