Installation

‰

1. PREPARE FRONT AXLE



Remove the lower suspension arm from axle

bracket to prepare for welding.



Temporarily position MiniSkid on front axle so that

“wings” align with bottom edges of axle bracket

and “tab” aligns with axle tube.



Note where MiniSkid will be welded to axle. If

suspension arm brackets have been damaged or

deformed, hammer back into shape until a maxi-

mum gap of 1/8” exists between edges of bracket

and MiniSkid.



Completely remove any paint, rust, or other debris

from the suspension arm bracket and axle tube

where MiniSkid will be welded.

HINT: A sanding wheel, disc sander, or similar tool

is useful for paint removal.

2. WELD MINI SKID PLATE TO AXLE



Reposition MiniSkid on front axle and tack weld

“wings” to bottom edges of suspension arm brack-

et. Check for 1/8” gap between edges of bracket

and MiniSkid and adjust if necessary.

HINT: A hammer may be used for minor gap ad-

justments. For larger adjustments, grind away tack

welds and reposition MiniSkid.
