From my searching it would seem that this market is cornered by Rusty.
Anyone happen to come across any other consumer options that will no-shit bolt on without modification of the hole locations?

Thanks ?

I have them and simply had to enlarge the forward hole by one bit size... no elaborate grinding or elongation needed. Yes, I know it's still a slight modification but nothing 1 minute of your time can't remedy.

I simply think that people are not leaving the (2) small bolts extremely loose during install. I kept them loose enough for the entire bracket to move around. Below is a pic of how very close the skid hole lined up with the OEM LCA bracket hole... then I just needed to line up the arm hole itself.

I wouldn't be deterred by the negativity in the threads. I think they are worth it.

I didn't bother to drill anything, I left the front bolt out. It's not doing a dang thing the other two bolts aren't taking care of.

I have the Rock Hard 4X4 LDA skid plates. Don't have them installed yet, but looks straight forward.

Thanks everyone for your replies and input.
Its just strange that there's no other options out there, like there are for the axle side and the lower shock mounts.
I might just order a set. Worse comes to worse at least it will provide a template to improve upon.
