Rock Hard Oil Pan Skid Q
I'm looking into getting this,
http://northridge4x4.com/proddetail.php?prod=RH-6003.
The question I have is on the "...stock drivelines to clear this skid at 40in of flex."
That # in and of itself isnt telling me anything. Is that a good amount of flex, is it not? Is it the same as stock, more, less?
Thx in advance!

This was one of the reasons I decided to do a full replacement pan instead of a skid. Doesn't sacrifice any clearance, doesn't weigh a ton, and costs less than most skids.

I am not much help, hope it gives more clearance for the factory driveshaft. I already knocked off my metal clamp on the boot. Not sure if the clamp hit the Auto tranny pan, or the factory cross brace and skid plate.
Going to use a zip ty on the boot for now.

I have one, it's a great plate in my opinion. Still an easy oil change and no way will the shaft have a problem with it. Very beefy brackets up around the oil pan that attach right to the motor mount. That amount of flex is a lot, much more than stock can do. I have 3.5 inches of lift and no issues with the skid plate at full flex disconnected.

Just installed my skid plate. Easy, spent most of my time walking in circles looking for tools
Saw where my boot got nicked, tranny pan. not the cross brace or skid plate.
