(Optional) “For plastic skid plate only” If you are going to use the stock OEM skid plate for the bronco along with the ADD Stealth fighter we recommend cutting the skid plate for better fitment. Mark a straight line about 1/4 inch away from the bolting point to be cut, also mark the corner area above the marked line. View the pictures for reference (Fig T)
There is a before and after that shows what needs to be cut. At the top of the skid plate mark a cut line where the skid plate curves down, this will free up room. Reference pictures below. (Fig U)
At the top of the skid plate mark a cut line from edge to edge above the curves that drops off, this will free up room. Follow the line off the edge as shown below. (Fig V)
After the cuts have been made you are now ready to install the skid plate using the same hardware that was used to hold the skid plate in place. Instead of using 6 bolts now you will only be using 4 as shown below using the 15mm stock bolts. (Fig W)
Before installing the ADD skid plate with the OEM hardware, there are 2 bolts next the OEM skid plate bolting location that you will need to remove and use fo the install. These bolts are 18mm. (Fig W)

(For ADD Skid Plate) You will use the stock hardware to install the skid plate. (Fig X)
