The Max Wedge pan is the best choice but the price/availability are a major factor. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

I have never had the pan hit anything and I have been driving it on the road since 2006. It fit with no K-frame mods at all as it cleared everything. Ron Last edited by 383man; 08/27/15 01:25 AM.
