? Downey truss w/budbuilt skids

Will a Downey truss work with Budbuilt Skids on 87 4runner? It looks like the truss has a bend in it to clear the front drivr shaft, so does it hang down in the way of the skids? Thanks Wil.

I have a chance at getting one for $35.00. If it doesn't work out I'm going to make my own.

Update, I had no problem with the Downey Truss and Budbuilt skids. Every thing fit fine, the truss is up high enough that it just touches the skids plate at the bend just below the 3rd member but doesn't mess with bolting it up.
