I mean, what sizes are we talking here? They make anything from .020 to .040 or .050. Either way, not necessary on our cars at all to have a legit "spacer". Why are you looking for this?

Naw, the oil pan isn't all that low. There is much more that will hit first. I don't know of any "spacer" to lift it up. Modify and refabricate your mounts? That's about it I think.

I agree our oil pans are too low. And the oil pan is the 2nd thing to hit, after the frame runners. I'm maxed out in ksports and although I never had an oil pan scare, I proactively made my own skid plate out of an 11 gauge steel plate... Bring on the freeway ruts!

Can you post pic of your skid plate. Just to get an idea. Want to get one myself.
Thanks!

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture before I took my tc off the lift but in a few weeks I'm going to be working on it again, and I'll snap some pics too to help you out. I want to cut out a hole where the oil filter is, and tap some screw holes so I can have a removable door so i won't have to drop the 40lb skid plate every time i change oil. I also kept my cardboard jig I used to transfer my shape to the steel plate, maybe i could ship it to you so it'd be real easy to copy?
