Are you going for a flat belly or not? There are some good ideas here.

I used three factory ones: One on the tranny, one on the doubler, and one south of them to hold the skid plates.

It's just the stock crossmember right under the doubler and I got a second on and modified it to fit under the tranny. I'm goin gto be modifying it again though.

Nope, no notching. My doubler is the ORD, clocked 2" up, and without going out in the dark and busting my knuckles, I'm thinking that the front output is rotated up by that. IIRC it gets a bit close when the front axle is fully flexed, but it went okay.
