Default trans skid pics

I have yet to put on the OME HD lift kit I bought on my 2 dr. JK Sport. Read where the OEM trans skid plate should be notched for the frt DS, but it looks like my Sport does not have one. Is this a Rubi item only. Pics!

They are referring to notching the cross-member skid, and also about the driveshaft contacting the corner of the tranny pan when flexing.


See post #6 in this one:

The first pic shows the notch cut out of the skid, and removing the metal boot band and replacing with a zip tie.
The second pic is lowering the skid with some washers.

of course, if you do have an auto, i personally think this is a better option.
