There doesn't seem to be any issues where the sump hangs down. Under extreme four wheeling that could become an issue (not my plans for the truck) but If extreme four wheeling was the goal I would be installing a minimum 4 inch lift which would aleviate most if not all my problems.

I should have my crossmember back in a week. I tack welded everything in place and a professional will tig the flanges and gussets in and I will post pics of the clearance then without the engine in the way.
