longtube and lowering question

whats everyones measurement from the ground to the bottom of their headers if your running long tubes? I assume a lot of people are running me length headers but I didn't figure they would hang down as far as they o after I got them installed. wanting to drop my truck another two inches just wanting to some feed back or measurements of other peoples trucks.

Thanks!

I'm at 3 1/4"- 3 1/2" clearance. Not to many problems. They do hit once in a while. But not bad at all

sbc?
Have these on my 73- says 68-87
Doug's Headers D310 and they tuck really well.
The A arm will drag before the header will.

I have long tubes for the time being, they drag if your bagged and ride low! looking at the Headman 3/4 headers to keep it all above the frame. Sitting as it is in the picture 2" bump drags headers.
