Default k member vs oil pan

I am looking for a k member that has a bar that sits lower than the stock f body oil pan. With my oil pan being lower than my bmr k member my oil pan hits the track if i come down from a big wheelie. Not all of the company have pictures installed that makes it easy to tell. Still a street car 3700 pounds so dont care if its the lightest one out there. Car run stock streering rack and stock motor mounts. Any pictures you have would be nice

Would a skid plate be in the realm of possibilities ?
Might be easier in the long run too ?

Would a stock kmember not work with your turbo kit?

There's nothing that'll survive that drop. Best bet are wheelie bars to prevent the issue in the first place.

I went and looked through some pics of your kit and I see no reason why a factory kmember won't fit.

Fix the wheelie problem. Zero reason to be doing that... gonna wreck more than the k member and oil pan ya keep that up.
