K-member skid plate, does anyone have experience?

In my 340 Duster...pulled out to pass a guy and there lays an unbroken cinder block. No chance to miss it, turned just enough to have it hit the kframe where the lwr control arm attaches....bent the control arm a bit, and a big dent in the kframe...the c-block exploded out from under the car.
missed the headers and the oil pan... thank you

For peace of mind the oil pan is protected...I've run my skid plate across road edges. As mentioned they are a GREAT location to grab with a floor jack. Make or buy is the question.
