Yep, that's it...and IIRC, I cut a good size chunk out of that area with the mini grinder to provide clearance, and that just allowed it to collapse further.
Anyone wants it, I'll bring it to Moab & it's yours for ten bucks.
BUT...you'll have to bend it back into shape until the mounting holes line up.

I'm not sure if I did the right thing or not, BUT, I had a local welder cut the lower hanging section off and weld in a plate up higher...net result...it now hangs no lower than the other plates/crossmember. He charged me $70. I'm still concerned with what you guys have experienced though.

On the subject of skid plates and junk yards. Anyone remember what size bolts they are, or do you need to take your whole tool box with you?

Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

theyre 14 mm.. i needed a long flathead screwdriver because one of the nuts inside the cross member had come loose and was just spinning, i had to wedge a screwdriver in there to get the bolt out
