XTX rear skid swap out?

[devilnabludress]

Had some time to tinker away, have to do some final fine touches to finish the repositioning of the rear supports. To find where I should mount the rear factory mounts, I had measured a Viper sled centre to centre for the rear skid which came to 31". I then used a ratchet strap to set the rear skid at that distance and fastened the factory mounts to the skid and lowered the sled down into position. I was amazed at how smooth and clean the mounts positioned at that point in the tunnel. I'm currently reforming the shape of the underplate on the footboards, to have a cleaner look. Just by setting the center to center distance and lowering back down onto the plates gave me almost the exact same ride height as factory, within 1/4 inch.
