Default Skid Row Oil and Tranny Skid Plate, Vibrations?

I'm just wondering if those of you who have the Skid Row Oil Pan and Transmission Skid Plate feel any resonating noises or vibrations that those who have the Rock Hard Skid Plate for the same area feel??? Also how does the Skid Row one connect in front of the oil pan? Is it to the engine mounts like the Rock Hard one or is it to the frame instead?

when i first put my skidrow on i had a vibration that i could feel anytime off idle. i went looking around again and the front of the skid was touching the oil pan on the driver side. take a look at yours, it is very close even when not touching, but then again my cross member is bashed up pretty good so it might not line up right. after i got the skid off the oil pan it went away.

Mine was contacting the exhaust. I used a few washers to space it down abit.

No vibration till i bent it comming down on a rock and its only the cross exhaust pipe.

Mounts in the front to the engine mounts.

The Rock hard mounts to the engine mount frame bracket, not the actual engine mount.
