Rusty's front skid plate XJ
I bought a skid plate from Rusty's for the front of my XJ and for the life of me can't figure out how it bolts on. I know the front lip bolts to the core support and I think I know where the back bolts to but it is hitting my sway bar and won't go up to the frame. Does anyone know if I need to remove the sway bar, I have a 3in lift and sway bar lowering brackets and if anyone has any pictures that would help alot.
Thanks
Thanks

Sway bar lowering brackets? As in you lowered the sway bar where it mounts to the frame or just got longer sway bar links? I could assess it better if you gave us some pics...

Yeah, those won't work with a front skid. Need to bolt sway bar up flush and get longer end links to extend them down...if you want to use the skid.

Don't remove the swaybar wahoo unless you naturally take corners slow unlike me and don't have your family riding in it and it sees any freeway. The back is a diff story tho.

Rough Country disco's and I have a 3in lift. I wasn't able to get the bottom torx bolt out so I left it in and hooked everything else until I can get a torch and remove the torx bolt.
