Have you tried lining up the holes when the truck is supported on the
frame? I think the front of the frame droops a fair amount, which would
bring the two crossmembers that the skidplate attaches to a wee bit closer
together. Iīm lucky enough to have a hoist at my disposal.

Same for me. There must be a little bit of imbalance in my new driveshaft
setup after all. Guess I should deal with that...
I hate being under a car with spinning parts, but thatīs the only way I can
think of to get a chalk mark on the heavy side. Anyone else balanced their
own driveline?
