JKU wth EVO Long Arm kit skid plate solution

My EVO long arm kit is going in and my EVO protek skids will not play nice with the long arm relocation. Has anyone trimmed these down to fit? or is it better to sell them and go with something like the Clayton system with the cross member? Maybe just skip the cross-member skid plate since the y-pipe is relocated behind the transfer case and leave the cross-member exposed until is needs replacing?

Thanks for sharing your experience in advance!
