You can use the engine and trans skid plate with no problem. Its the crossmember skid plate you can't use because of your spacers. You can purchase the skids separately. This is a pic of the trans skid. Its on top of the exhasut crossover and not going to contact the driveshaft

Without the lower crossover skid the "EVO tranny skid" by itself would leave the crossover too exposed after removal of the factory tranny skid as mentioned in his write-up. Here is a pic of the EVO skid that has the problem along with his comment later in the post...

Does not work with teraflex exhaust spacers. Not enough clearance on the crossover pipe. FYI, bought a new driveshaft and removed the spacers. All good now

I got a response from Drew at Off Road Evolution whether I could use the trans skid plate without the crossmember skid plate:

". . . The oil pan skid can be used separately but the transmission pan skid must be used with the entire system."

I run the Rock Hard skids on my 2012 and I have TF spacers. No problem at all! I put the 1/4 inch spacer in the back just for a little extra room at the crossmember. They are nicely finished and work great.

I sent them your picture and talked to Drew on the phone. At first he said no it wouldn't work but put me on hold and when he came back he said it would. Thanks for the picture.

When you say in between the "pan" and cross frame are you referring to the Off Road Evolution Exhaust skid or the Tranny Skid or some other "pan"?
