RC-Solutions skidplate problems

[Natedog]

I just received my new RC-Solutions skidplates (http://www.rc-solutions.com) and am having problems installing them Of course they are closed on weekends and I want to run today!

The skids are slightly different than the pics at their site, the top edge is now bent back over at about a 90 degree bend and it interferes with my stock bumper mounts (front and rear) because it causes significant preload when I tighten the skid mounting screws into the bottom of the bulkheads.

Anybody else used these skidplates and had similiar problems? How did you fix it? I'm thinking about trying to bend em back to almost a 180 degree bend (spring steel may be hard to do and cause cracking), cutting them down shorter with a dremel, or running as is. If I run as is they are straining the mounting screws.

BTW, I want to run bumpers because I do alot of big jumps and bashing.

Why dont you go back to stock untill you can contact them. I know it's rough but better than wasting them.

Yeah thought about that but I broke both stock skids last weekend jumping. They hung together enough to finish the day, but are history now.

I'd still wait it's better than wasting the money. Of course it's getting kinda late now and cold too.

California high desert it got up to around 60 but now it's closer to 50. That's too cold for me.

i would love to be at 60 or even 50 again its like 38 here in utah and as for the skids i dont think they will work with the stock bumpers..not even their show truck on the sight has them..all they are is added weight and for show once you got the new skid there is really no reason for them
