Re: Ground Clearance

Man,
Hearing the clearances being discussed in this thread makes realize how painfully low my truck is. It has a Camaro sub-frame, Eibach coil springs and drop spindles, and my cross member sits a mere 2" from the ground! My transmission pan has about 5" of clearance, and sits about level with the bottom of my frame rails, and higher than my rockers. I can say that it scared the crud out of me when driving my truck through a gas station and my cross member struck one of the steel fuel tank caps in the gas station parking lot! It's low enough to cause problems, but I sure love the way that it looks! LOL.
