Would need to see some pictures but that definitely sounds like an option.

I'll snap a few this week if I get a free minute to tear it all apart again
The Steel Armadillo skid attaches to the radiator support and the cross bar behind the motor. My radiator support was pushed back 1" in an accident (and off roading) but the skid still works great. Just needed to drill additional mounting holes for the front attachment points.

Ive pulled radiator supports back by strapping it to a tree with a good chain/recovery line and reversing slowly. Its cheaper than having a shop do it just kind of dangerous hahaha

Thanks for the assistance! Got a call into Marlin about it, depending on how it goes I may be placing an order at SA. Should have listened to Matt the entire time
Are we talking about the Radiator support or the engine cradle???????? If it's the radiator support I suppose you can work around it or possibly even try to bend it back as suggested above, but if it's the engine cradle aren't there much bigger issues at stake than mounting a skid?????

It's the radiator support, up front, right above the air dam.
Not going to try bending it back...waiting on what Marlin says before I act on anything.
