Are you absolutely sure it's above the crossmember in the end (are we talking about the crossmember under the engine, just behind the oil pan)?

I have one of the AAM oil pan spacers on my car now. I guess i never measured the thickness of the spacer, but it should be about an inch, and with the spacer + stock oil pan, the bottom edge of my oil pan is definitely coming out lower than everything else around it (although the plastic tray still fits, since it's flexible).

Also, I notice your drain plug hole is on the bottom though, whereas stock hides it at an angle. Is the drain plug head going to change the overall clearance?
