There isn't any magic trick to not scrape. Lowering has its drawbacks.
If you want to drive the car wherever you want then you will have to deal with it.
you could rivet a skid plate to the bottom of the front bumper cover but thats all I can think of.
I keep 2 front bumper covers, one on the car and one with fresh paint. When it gets too beat up I just swap em out.
Mines a drag car with alot of rake and the bottom of my front bumper cover is always a mess.

Get used to maneuvering it over/around holes and bumps, and avoid steep declines. I scrape at least twice a week. No big deal - I just go real slow and give my suspension a chance to dampen it, so it's BARELY scraping and it's very minor.
