So now that we know about the floor-board area, I think for peace of mind for you, regardless of what kit you buy, you should consider a modification to add a sheet/plate under the driver side. I know it's scary when I think about my FFR with only a piece of aluminum protecting my crotch; actually there is a small steel plate under the seat due to a 3rd party vendors seat mounting kit which places a thick steel plate about 18"x18" square directly below the seat. At least it's something.

Also, just as a build note: if something below scares saftey into you, invest in a driveshaft hoop from Lakewood or another vendor. When a shaft goes, it's not pretty and would pretty much do the same thing as your tire-iron story.
