your oil pan will be fine...you will have to notch for the tierods. depends on how big of a wheel you run if you have to notch for the beams. i'd say you won't have to notch for the beams unless you are running bigger than an 18" wheel

well i looked at it tonight and it looks really close to the pan i hope i dont have to but you gotta do what ya gotta do lol and im settin it up for 18s so that will be the biggest i run up front...

anything bigger than 18's I would definitely ditch the beams and yota clip it.

you should be good on clearnace for the oil pan and you shouldn't have to nothc for the beams if you run a small tire...every truck is diffrent though. i am running 17's with a bigger tire and i could fit 18's with no problem, and i didn't run into any problems.
