Ive looked and looked so does anyone know of a company making a engine/trans skid for a longarm setup? All the skids i find use the lower control arm mounts as a bolting spot and well with the long arms those location are cut off.
believe it or not the engine doesn't really need to be protected with a lift/larger tires.
last time i hit the oil pan, i had a 3" lift with 31's. and I have been wheeling much harder/rockier/more dangerous trails since. been 6 years and 3 xjs and not a oil pan scratch. the transmission pan is another story, it has been dented, but never enough to cause an issue. some longarm belly pans protect the tranny well, and if they don't you can modify them pretty easily.
