    Hi -

    So, my new suspension (Fox 2.5 with coilover and reservoirs) has been installed and I have a few question -

    The install included a (front) differential drop kit.

    I removed my tow hooks to paint them red during this process. I noticed that there's this gap between the skid plate and the frame.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Won't this make the tow hooks useless?

    Thanks for your input -

    Deb

    It’s due to the diff drop if no other hardware was included. I think ReadyLift sells a hardware kit so you can reuse your pro skid plate with a diff drop
