It came with this extra part that extends near the gas tank. Not sure if that's what you mean. It was something not pictured in the instructions. I emailed them to ask about the part, and they sent updated instructions here. I recommended they update their main instructions, but it doesn't look like they did that.

Did you have to brace the gas tank or was removing just the one bolt not enough to have it drop?Might as well add this picture here. no shade on the plate. Just shows the benefit of the skid in general.
Here I dropped down on top of this culvert which bent the plate, as expected.
I haven't pulled it off yet, but I assume it'll require some persuasion to bolt back up. It has a very tight fit for the front skid so it'll need to be pretty exact.
In this video you can hear it drop down onto the skidplate. Then you see I try to get off, and it slides forward, unloading the suspension even more.
I used my floor jack to put some pressure on the skidplate attached to the gas tank. Then I removed that bolt. I didn't want stuff to move, though I didn't expect it to. It was more of a belt and suspenders thing.
