Aftermarket K Members Improve Oil Pan Clearance?

Are there any aftermarket K members out there that give you enough room to remove the oil pan without jacking the motor up?

Anyone with an aftermarket K-member who can comment on the oil pan clearance?

I read a lot about aftermarket K-members improving plug and wire access, but nothing about improved oil pan clearance.

as far as being able to see it better and probably reach the bolts better yes, but room between 'it' and the pan, nope its like stock
but if you're switching out K-frames, when you have the old one out its extremely easy to remove the pan

well it makes it very easy to access all the bolts on the oil pan but to remove the pan droping the k-member is still required.

spark plug access from the bottem of the car is increased significantly.

plus greater header clearance

My BMR didn't fit with AS&M shorties.

Anyone want to buy some AS&M shorties?

Working on the engine from the bottom is a cinch now with the LT's and BMR K-member.
