93 Lexus Ls400

Started to rebuild my Ls400

Quick question, what do you guys do about your oil pans being so low to the ground and other road hazards? My car is static on JIC coilovers. I thought about maybe having a skid plate fitted but is there any reliable/safe way to raise the engine to get more clearance? Aftermarket motor mounts maybe? I searched google and this site but couldnt find a clear answer to my question and i cant finish the build before addressing this complication.

any help is appreciated thank you

Rebuild the oilpan instead of raising the engine..

I've never cared about the oilpan cause its in line with the wheels so there are more things to take the hit before.
Build a skid plate and drive as it is.
