Scrub line would be close. The lowest point of the system (like a stock trailing arm), is the U-bolt and hardware under the axle. With out any blocks, this is 5.75" (measured from the axle CL down to the lowest point) with our trailing arm kit. So, with a 2" block, you will have 7.75" from the axle CL down, and a 16" rim will have a scrub line of appx 8.2". So, it's close with a 16" wheel, but you will have .45" to spare.

0.45" is a tad close, need to change that plan a bit. I would had to drag on a pebble in the road. Rob, thanks for the great info and help with the plans of many here!!

Scrub line only applies to flat-tire situations
