Correct. Center section is raised about 6.5".
You could run a 4-bar set-up that is positioned lower F/R while being parallel for more clearance or run a set-up that's not parallel. I considered Ride Techs set-up & Porterbuilts. But, I went the direction I did based on budget goals.
I don't see how you can do any moderate amount of drop w/o cutting into the frame unless it's only getting lowered for sitting still. I drive my stuff low so a c-section was a must have. Since it is a C30, I felt that there should be no compromise in frame strength & went w/step notches to allow a full height (strength) frame section. The trade off is some bed area is lost but I would prefer that compromise vs a strength related one.
I have a full 4+ inches of clearance before the bumpstop touches.
