Default EVO crossmember skid rattle

I have a 2011 JKU manual trans with the EVO crossmember skid. I believe it rattles on the exhaust that crosses in front of the transfer case. Was curious if anyone had any tricks to keep it from doing this. I tried spacing it out with washers but it didn't not work. Any other info would be great, thanks!

Mine only did this after being damaged. The passenger side of that skid is a little weak. I added a front lip to mine to help reinforce it once I beat it back. I also clearanced the part at the exhaust a bit. Other than that it's perfectly quiet.

Before


After






Edit... Mine is a 13' though. I don't know how much different the exhaust cross-over is on a 3.8L

Thanks for the info. Mine has done this since new. My crossmember was slightly damaged before I put it on so maybe I'll take a look at that. Seems to be getting worse.
