Here are the money shots, down on the suspension at a normal ride height.
I put the pan inside the arms of the A-frames themselves.
The edge of the plastic shows here, and especially where I could not get a screw in there because of the lift arms. I plan on using an aluminum carpet edge to clamp the plastic to the aluminum running board, with countersunk screws. I will paint the final edges with a rubberized undercoat.
The rear axle is in line or above the pan, except for the spring clamp bolts and shock mounts. I really did not want to squeeze the air. It starts out at ~10.5" ground clearance up front, maybe 10" under the crossmember, then tapers up to about 13" at the axle. I could lower the front section to match, but it would be effectively lower than the lowest front suspension component if I did. The crossmember is only about 25" wide in the low area.
It is down about 5" below the original bumper, but that will all get covered by the new bumper/spoiler. I ran with this much radiator cover over the pass the other day, and no fan.
