Default anyone use oval tubing for ground clearance on STS kits?

like the title says...just wondering if anyone is using oval tubing to help gain some ground clearance with their sts kit. Thinking about doing it, just want to see if anyone has, any pointers, measurements, etc.

I used some oval tubing to run under the front cradle on car. It wasn't an STS kit, but it was rear mount.

Here's a pic:

you shouldnt really need oval tubing, but unless you have to have your car scaping the ground then go ahead, useless IMO. i've seen lowerd cars do fine with the regular pipes. but to each his own
