Default Installed A & A frame savers

I just installed A & A frame savers and man they are easy to install. Installation is straight forward, first you drill a 5/8" hole in the bar and bolt the housing to the skid bar without a wheel. I grinded off the paint and welded a bead on the front of the housing. Finally you bolt the wheel in place.

My question is do most people who lower their car cut the black lower airdam portion in the front?

Phil, some of the guys in this forum have cut anywhere from 3/4 " to 1" of the rubber :yesnod:

Phil That's a 5/16" hole that's drilled into the bar. I like to shave the air dam after lowering and installing the Frame Savers. I have no problems going just about anywhere and my car's pretty low.

Is it a "must" to weld the frame-savers or is it enough to just bolt them in?
