Default RE crossmember compatible with transfer skid?

Is the replacement cross member from Rubicon Express compatible with after market transfer case skids? Specifically is it compatible with the Rock Hard transfercase skid plate? I know the Rock Hard oil pan/transmission skid wont work... wondering about the transfer case skid though.

Considering a Skid Row oil/tranny skid with Rock Hard transfer case skid on a RE 4.5" replacement crossmember.

The front of the transfer case skid (Rock hard) mounts to the same points on the stock crossmember as the rear of the oil pan skid. (The transfer case skid moints first, the oil pan skid overlaps it)

Yes I know that but I am wondering if the angles on the crossmember are different. For example the Rock Hard oil/transmission skid wont work becasue it intereferes with the long arm of the RE suspension. The Skid Row skid fits with no issues. Just wondering if the Rock Hard transfer case skid will fit without cutting... the skid since the crossmember is different slightly. It would be bolted to the same points as the Skid Row skid which bolts right up to the the RE Express crossmember like the Skid row but it has the propper clearances. I know a Skid row transmission skid will work on a stock crossmemeber with a Rock Hard transfer case skid... adding the RE crossmember is the unknown.

The RE kit doesn't even allow the stock skid to be mounted properly. No suprise after completing the install. To be expected from RE I guess.
