If I hit a chuck hole the rear tire will drop into it and the rebound from that will make the rear end hit the snubber in the C notch. If I encounter a sharp dip in the road and am at speed the front tire will "kiss" the inner fender panel, but doesn't really hurt anything. I don't have any tire rub trouble while turning but I try to be aware if I'm going into a raised drive. The lower A arms have 3" ground clearance but go up with the tire so that's not a problem on speed bumps. Hope this helps. Phil
Oh and my front tires are 27.4" tall and the rears are 28".

Beautiful! This was exactly the info I was looking for, thank you. If I may ask another question, do you find that with your amount of drop it is necessary to relocate your shocks position and have track bar modified? I'm looking at CPP's kits wondering if its worth or actually necessary to invest in the kit with those extras (adjustable track bar, shock relocator) and are the shocks necessary for that matter? I ask because my S10 was just inches from the ground and either I got used to it or something but I never felt I needed shorter shocks. All I did was replace the stock ones with some Monroe shocks and I couldn't complain. I was also younger and more resilient lol
