READ the Description! You see the part where it says this doesn't fit vehicles with factory swaybars? I didn't! I was still able to install the front skid, and I'm keeping the rear guard in case I ever remove my rear swaybar - but don't make the same mistake as me. (Note that I had to buy longer bolts, since I didn't want to use the included studs yet.) Mistakes aside, the product is beautifully made. It's almost a shame to stick it under the truck. However, as another reviewer mentioned, be prepared to reseal the rear diff. My truck has less than 3,000 miles, and I still got a tiny seep. I'm going to keep an eye on it for now, and hope it seals up better now that the bolts are re-tightened. I'll do an early fluid change and reseal it then.

Very nice skid. I held my breath and didn't get a leak when installing this, but I'd have supplies on hand, either RTV sealant or a gasket, and replacement oil, to reseal the diff if you get a leak while installing. Really well thought out with a drain hole so you can do a flush without having to remove the skid. One interesting thing, the bolt holes in my differential weren't perfectly parallel, so I could only install 2 studs initially, then could thread the last 2 after the skid was resting on the studs, then carefully tighten the nuts alternating until it was snug enough to torque them to spec. Entire process took about 10 minutes in my driveway and everything uses a 1/2in socket and needed an open end wrench for the last bolt on the retaining clamp because it sits too close to the differential housing to get a socket on if you tighten the differential cover nuts before the retaining clamp.
