Yes.

I went with the Poison Spider skid. I actually raises it up a little bit and adds a little peripheral protection to the drive shaft.

I installed a rock hard skid and have had no problems. But I thing “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” (Ben Franklin). Move it out of harms way.

Relocate it - didn't even bother buying any kit. Only $$ spent was on a tube of plastic glue to patch up the cracked spout on the evap for one of the hoses that I found was already cracked when buddy showed me how/where he relocated his.
Flatten the metal sheet it hooks to and use self tappers to plug straight into the body in front of the muffler. He used a heat gun to bend the hoses to fit better, and done. If it wasn't for that stupid spout being cracked it only would have taken 10-15 minutes to do.
Of course, if it wasn't for the evap being installed where it was from the factory, none of us would have had to deal with this either..
