Default auto skid plate notched pics?

I would like to see pics of an automatic skid plate notched for a 3" lift or dimensions for the cut out. Thanks

Thank you. I wanted an idea of how much to cut before I started.

I had seen a previous thread showing the carnage the pan could do. I will cross that when it's required. San Angelo

My question to you is, are you using an adjustable track bar or track bar bracket?
If you're using an adjustable track bar, is it adjusted properly?

I have over a 3" lift, automatic and my DS has never hit my pan.
Now the dust cover is torn but I can't say that the pan did it.

Great pic and good info. I'll have to keep a watch out for it.

I guess I've just been lucky so far. I'm going to be replacing my front DS anyway because of the terrible angle the DS has at the transfer case. I'm sure the CV style boot won't last much longer.

Oh and here's mine at full stuff...lol
But then again I'm not driving for an extended time like your pic.

Any chance one of you that has contacted the pan can list the extened length (or part nubmer and mfgr) of your front shocks? It would be nice t have the data point.
