Back when I used to run really dropped trucks, We called it "beer can " clearance. If a Bud Light can laid on its side just touched the crossmember, that was about right. Of course, now we're discussing moving the crossmember up. So, you figure 4 ish with the standard parts, 5 1/2 with the crossmember, and a 2" z, you're at 7 1/2- 8, give or take. Just wondering where the line might be. Right now I'm a roller at stock height. This truck is getting completely stripped, just trying to figure how much I want to do while it's apart.
