It completely depends on your mods, lift is a big factor. The one I did that was fairly stock, stock front D44 and 1.5” of lift, I had to go to a steel pan and cut the bulge and corner of the pan off to clear the front diff. Also had to relocate the drain plug. This is
The pan that I’ve been using, they have added the rear drain plug since this pic was taken but I think it’s still in the way. Unfortunately I do not have a pic of the modded pan but you can also see the interfience issue with a stock truck pan. Which may or may not apply to a G8 pan, I have no experience with that.
That steel pan is what I use on most all of my builds, I’ve impacted too many cast pans and cracked them, it has never been with the ground, rock hung in a skid plate, log flipping up and wedging where it can’t get to. Take a bad hit after a jump and get suspension impacts where suspension stuff can’t get to but it did. The steel bends and survives the cast cracks and best case leaks, worst case fails and drains all the oil like a bottomless bucket.
