I have someone install it for me as my back is acting up, but he did not mention anything and told me it went easy. But I do not have the transfer skid, just the first 3 panels.

The engine skid does allow for full adjustability, but we recommend removing the engine skid as our skid plates protect the cam tabs, and it’s incredibly difficult to adjust cam tabs with something in the way that protects them. Kinda makes me wonder how the alignment was adjusted? Did Slee drop the skids or do they have some cool set of tools that can get in there from the top side?I recently had Slee do my front and rear bumper. As part of the install they also worked on my alignment. They noticed that my budbuilt engine skid plate did not allow for the full adjustability of my SPC UCA. Has anyone else run into this issue? I should add that I installed them last summer (2018) and have been super happy with them otherwise.
So that is a false statement you were told, that a upper control arm is affecting a lower control arms position within the frame. It just doesn’t work like that, not frustrated at you at all, it’s more of a pet peeve for me because I was trained to do the old (and better) string alignments and it’s a common problem with people not truly understanding the theory behind alignments.
I think the customer might have the terminology/ issue a little mixed up. The skid plates had nothing to do with the adjustment of the SPC arms, but they made adjusting the lower eccentrics impossible without removing the skid plates. When we do alignments we adjust both lower eccentrics and SPC upper ball joints to achieve the desired alignment as well as wheel location in the wheel well.
But I doubt Slee would do that as I’ve heard that they know how to do alignments right.
I was looking at the BB armor systems (i.e., procrastinating work) and put together this table comparing the Stages, materials, weights, and prices (as of this instant). Not that it is terribly complicated, but I was popping between the stages, materials, etc. Sharing in hopes it is helpful to someone here.

Please take some pictures and videos. Mine should be arriving in a month or so and I’m hoping to install myself.Hopefully putting my BudBuilt 3/16 Stainless stage 3 on this Thursday... Gotta yank my KDSS relo first & replace bent link... Trying to get it done before blasting off toward Kokopelli Trail starting out of Grand Junction...
“KDSS relo”? Is this necessary for the Bud Built plates? Or are you doing that for some other reason?Hopefully putting my BudBuilt 3/16 Stainless stage 3 on this Thursday...
