Default Modifying trans skid or crossmember after lift install

So I got the OME LT kit installed and at full extension, the front driveshaft contacts the transmission crossmember. I was going to make a quick little mod with a sawz-all, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or pictures of their modification to this. Not sure exactly on how much to remove

Just cut enough to keep it from hitting. It is just a skid plate for the automatic trans because they are so weak. If you buy any aftermarket engine/trans skid plate they have you remove it so you don't actually need it. It doesn't support anything at all so you can't really mess it up. Just either cut it or remove it before you go out and tear up your drive shaft.
