    As I said earlier, relief cutting will work just fine...until you run it up on a big hard thing, then the cut you made allows it to collapse even further.

    Look at what it's actually protecting & decide if it's worth the effort.

    Just take a lagre adjustable wrench, clamp it on the leading edge where it rubs and gently persuade it downwards to the desired clearance...works like a charm!

    The exhaust pipe crossover skid plate is fairly worthless IMHO...it isn't strong enough to take a good hit without getting forced up into the front U-joint etc. The other Trooper skids are thicker steel for some reason, and do a much better job.

    Once I had my passenger side exhaust re-routed around the back of the transfer case, I took that crossover skid off for good.

    If you do a search, I posted a how to for the skid plates and it has the info you seek. I don't remember it off the top of my head.
