Dude, if you look at the stock kmember it sits below the oil pan, so you actually don't need syab's with a stock kmember, mine's saved me quite a few times!

Maybe put some limiters on it so it doesn't come down hard enough to hurt it?
Heres a retarded idea, it just popped into my head so don't flame me: What if you made something like what they use for bumper shocks? You know, how they are designed to compress on impact? You could put one on each side with a plate on the bottom. I bet you could pull them from old G bodies in the yard for $10 a pair.You would have to make a bracket of some sort to mount them.
Or how about putting a small pnuematic tire right at the center of the K member?
"Is that a serious question?"
"No, it isn't."

I was making some nylon blocks to put on the k-frame to do the same thing. When I worked at ford they used nylon blocks on the end of outriggers(keep car from rolling over) The nylon would just wear when/ if they got up on two wheels and would hit.

Couple of pecies of mild steel square tube i think would work, just get whatever size you need to be lower then your oil pan. I would be light, crush on impact, cheap, easy to fab and replace.
