I took a look at trimming the bell housing, but unfortunately, the bottom of the sump/ oil pan is at the the same level. So trimming is out of the question, as the sump would then take the impact. That would be bad news as it will distort the seal area too.
I am installing sloping rubbing blocks to the frame. In an event where I bottom on something the frame/rubbing blocks will just glide over without impact to the sump. Providing the hump I'm going over is reasonable flat. LOL
