    sorry these pics are so out of order and yes i know it looks too low to be drivable in the out side pictures, but with all the leaves back in the rear spring plus the taller rear tires ill be running the lowest point of it will be 4 inches off the ground. i know that doesnst sound like much clearance but iv been drivin my 69 ford f250 with a camaro clip and axle flip in the rear with the same clearence for 3 years as my daily with the same amount of clearence and no issues other than the odd steep driveway i drag my front bumper to get into. i figure with next to no over hang past the fornt axle and a much shorter wheel base ill be sylin!
