Lots of attention to detail brother. Never mind the exact match on the previous part you had referenced being flat as opposed to your gradual decline fabricated part. Great job on explanations and your thinking toward the end goal. Wonderful piece!!
I think I want to get this for mine as well. I have JCR skid plates right now but they are (annoyingly) low, I think I have the margin to drop the diff without having to modify them. Might put an order in this week after I inspect closer. You mentioned the lowest point dropped about 35mm further down?
The front mount dropped by about 35mm but it already sat significantly higher than the lowest point of the diff. Since the centerline moved down 20mm, and the lowest point is still below the centerline (and approximately round) the loss in clearance right below the diff is about 20mm (~0.8).
I just used a thin cut off wheel on an angle grinder. Made sure to mark it all off with marker first. Some additional pictures of my exact cuts on the forum post.

Great job. I have Kings and definitely need this. What did you use to cut your skid plate?

@@mattg8116 sweet. Thanks for this. Looks like the install is pretty straight forward. It can all be done with vehicle on the ground, right?
@@sinlab yes, I did mine on the ground with the help of a jack to support the axle
@@mattg8116 Sold! Order placed.
