This is not the best way to repair for the skid plate rusted out bolts, but I thought I should share. I needed 3/4" spacing to get my differential and trans to matching angles (to stop driveline vibration). Most of my skid plate mounting holes were rusted or stripped out. I purchased grade 8 1/2" nuts and welded them inside unistrut at the proper spacing. Bolted this to skid plate and jacked up in place and then welded uninstrut to frame.
