Yeah mine came with a small bracket for the trans lines, but they don't like to stay in there. Like you have already experienced, those lines are tuff to re-route and I had to do some rigging for them to stay in the bracket they provided. And because it is now pulled out about 3/4" away from it's original position, the hard lines by the pitman was touching the pitman arm itself. I had to do some very careful bending for it to clear.

still appreciate the feedback guys. If you have this problem with the bottom of the tranny pan and or other issues, please give River Raider a call - I dont want to be the only one making a fuss about this.

I don't have their skid so I can only speak with my dollars. I am a little sad though because, mount wise, it looked like the best bet. Its not inexpensive tho so maybe the Rancho oil pan skid will be what I choose. That doesn't leave me with anything for the transmission tho. Maybe one of those heavy duty pans? I don't really want to transfer all the shock of some stupid driving maneuver to the motor and would rather hit a skid with a little space in between.

Got stuck in a hole last weekend. Went to do an oil change tonight and found this
Soft-packed sand, filled all the skids. Might need some drain holes next time they come off.
