    Better have airbags, cuz that thing will NOT clear any speed bumps, and will drag across most driveway transitions!

    If you got headers, you cannot go very low at all.

    I was rubbing with this setup...I had about 2-3" of clearance. And in my opinion, it was sitting pretty high.

    Forget trying to put it on a u-haul trailer.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    The stock height is already too low for my streets!

    I'm hoping the new tires will lift it more.

    Yes, lift is good. I went from 195/60 to 215/60, and now 225/60 tires. For no reason other than to get the headers to quit bumping on everything.
