Not Happy With Asfir Skids

[ibgpin]

I ordered and installed the Asfir engine/oil pan, transfer case and muffler skid plates. Very disappointed except for the muffler skid which went on easy and provides good coverage. As far as the engine/oil pan skid, I lost ground clearance instead of any gain and I gained weight since their skid for the 4XE uses the cross member. I've written to them saying I think they used the wrong skid for the 4XE since it has the 2.0 engine but they insist it it correct. My concern is they use the same skid they do for the 3.6 except for different brackets. This skid uses the cross member to get low enough to clear the exhaust pipe on the 3.6. Since the 2.0 does not have this exhaust pipe it does not need to use the cross member which would save at least 2 inches of ground clearance. I have included a picture to show how much room there is between the transmission and the skid. And their transfer case skid uses the stock skid to attach to, makes no sense as you wind up covering the stock skid with the aluminum one. I could be wrong here, but I really don't see why they have to use the cross member for the skid. If anyone knows why, please let me know.

Looks like the skid is about 1/2" lower than the x member at its lowest point at the most. Where do you get 2" clearance loss?

Looks like a normal setup time
