I'm currently having this exact same issue on my 23 Badlands! What bolt did they tell you to loosen?

Having same issue. What bolt did you have to loosen? Would be great if @IAG Support would add this to the instructions.

Super tight fit in there. You will need a T25 bit and a small combo wrench to get in there. You don’t have to take it off just get like 1/8 inch space to wiggle in the skid. It won’t fit at first so you will have to jam it in and wiggle it around and it will go in. I wasn’t able to tighten it down to the recommended torque of 11.8 ft lbs since torque wrench won’t fit, so hand tightened it and jammed in some electrical tape to try to keep it secure. Iag support said it’s not a big deal that small bolt since there is another bolt further in and with the Iag hardware you will be fine. iAG did find the attached tool and said this could help if I really need to hand tighten it then try this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Steelman...8?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101002145
Hope that helps. Keep us posted on your success.

Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a go and let you know how it goes. Wish the install was as easy as the video led you to believe it was. That’s the frustrating part.

It took me hours to get the passenger side skid installed and it still doesn't sit right. I've been emailing back and forth with IAG support to try and figure out a solution. It looks like at this point I may end up dropping the fuel tank enough to gain access to that plate and removing it entirely.

Just and FYI, the front lower control skid plates do not go on as easy as the video suggest either. Skid plate mounting holes do not line up with the factory bolts. I tried measuring it out and it looks like the mounting holes are off center by about an 1/8 of an inch. I have a Badlands with Sasquatch package and haven’t modified the suspension so according to the video factory hardware should work. Email sent to @IAG Support. Hoping there is a fix.
A positive note, the rear differential skid/armor installs fairly easy and as advertised. So 1 out of 3 armor kits was at least installed this weekend. Lol

Finally was able to get everything installed. The passenger side was difficult but after the help from the forum and IAG customer support I figured it out. Once the skid plate was in position I used a jack to get it positioned right. Then I tightened all the bolts. I used a slim line T25 torx wrench. To get to the small hidden screw.

After some man handling I got the LCA skids installed. The install is not as easy as the video leads you to believe. Just glad I was able to get them on.
@IAG Performance Do you guys offer installation? If so how much? looking to get everything except front and engine plates

We currently do not offer installation services but we would be happy to send some recommendations in your area if you would like to send us a DM!
Im close enough to drive to you, but If that isn't an option I'll probably be doing it myself, just thought who better to install them than the creators

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your service!
I have been looking at your Rear Shock Trailing Arm Skid Plate and it seems like the install with the small bolts only would be a weak point. Anyone have any real world wheeling with these to verify that the install bolts are strong enough? Other sliders for the shocks use the actual factory bolt, but I dont want to have to break the 325 fl/lbs to get it on.
