A full cover belly pan works quite well for my F150. I can stay under the driveshaft most of the way, then notch around it so it has freedom to move. This would also keep airflow entirely away from the spare tire and tow hitch.

My ideas include making a heatsink that bolts on to the outside, and other various passive cooling ideas.... if it is even necessary. I'll collect temperature data first and see what happens.
