I haven't seen this particular pan, but there are pans available like that already.

I've seen them....made by Derale...it hung lower than I liked, so I just installed a cooler instead.

I used one on an a built 4x4 . I still ran a tranny cooler. Extra fkuid capacity and air holes have to help.

I run one, but as previously mentioned it runs low. I have hit something with mine and it dented the pan, which I hammered out later . My transmission man does not like low tranny pans...not sure why..think it has to do with the screen falling and starving the transmission..don't know if that makes sense..just comes to mind.

When installing a lower than stock trans pan, you MUST install a longer fluid filter pick-up with it. It must reach the bottom of the pan or you really haven't increased your capacity at all and the "sloshing" fluid will sometimes leave the screen uncovered. ( Sometimes this is forgotten because fluid still covers the shorter stock pick-up)...
