How well does it actually fit, and sit against the rear end of the subframe?


I bought brand new OEM side shields with my skid plate. When I tighten the bolts into the brackets, it compresses the side shields up about 1/4' or better.

The rear/center mounting point, even with the nylon washer is probably 1/2" from being flush or no gap between the washer and subframe...

Mine kinda of formed to fit the rear three attach points.

I've also managed to break / lose the poly shims that came with the kit.

Yup, as said by the previous posts, when you tighten it down it form fits. My sub frame took a big hit before I put mine on too, and it was impossible to get the middle rivnut in the hole.
