Well I am happy I decided to get a belly pan. The Traxxion plate may have saved my case from damage today. I left my driveway just a touch faster than I usually do this morning and the front suspension compressed enough that the plate at the front right corner hit the curb/sidewalk with a clunk. I stopped and looked right away. The plate was scuffed at the corner and I could see where it hit the concrete. No damage. Had I not of had the plate, the corner of the engine is only about 1/2" or less higher and may have hit doing damage. I usually have my suspension at 1 up with bags but had it at the lowest setting for some reason.

Glad your engine wasn't damaged.
 
Here is a pic of where it hit the front corner of the plate and the sidewalk I go down over at the end of my driveway.

That Traxxion anodized coating ain't worth a crap, is it?........ :LOL:

Nice to hear it did the job, wonderfully........think this points out just how soft the front stock OEM suspension really is, that's not much of a transition at all.
