I have collected some information about how to do this install but need particulars..
(1)Aluminum Spacers for front mount:
The IQ skid is 1" narrower than the No-Action. So was planning on buying two 4"x5"x 1/2" T6061 aluminum spacers to go between the front shaft of the IQ and the inside of the tunnel..does that seem right? Where can I buy the spacers online?
(2)Bolt through tunnel into skid
Not sure what size or length bolt I need for this..it seemed one post said he needed 3 1/2 x 3/8 hardened bolt, to make it through the tunnel, the 1/2" shim, and far enough into the skid. Also not sure where to get hardened bolts.
(3)Rivets
I heard Stavex rivets would be the best for this..where can I buy Stavex rivets? (actually checking with Be The Viper) What size will I need?
(4)Rear Mount
Do I need aluminum spacers here or should I use washers?

any more tips/pics on this install would be great, I will be doing this shortly.
You could probably get spacers at McMaster.com
Great KGWMU we can figure it out together
I ordered T6061 T6 spacers, rounded edge, 4x5x1/2.
I was told to use bolts instead of rivets to mount the skid and also to attach the spacers.
I am going to a tractor supply store to get hardened bolts for mounting.
The front mount on the skid is 2 1/4" deep, and appears to be 7/16" diameter. So if I add 2 1/4 depth on the skid to 1/2" spacer to ? for the depth of the tunnel and then a washer on the outside, I figure I need at least 3 1/2, maybe 3 3/4 bolts.
Both mounting rails on the skid are stripped in the first 1/2" on the outside...the guy that did this install that I read about got a tap and die kit and rethreaded the ends of the mounts (and the bolts? not sure)

IQ Skid Identification
Thanks for the help guys..
Check out this picture and let me know if you can tell me what year IQ skid this is..supposedly came out of a demo...hardware looks different than what the link to 2009 IQ Shift skid..
Has Zero Pro and PSS shocks..sorry the pic isnt that great but want to make sure I get the right hardware
