How much ground clearance will I have with this setup? Is it even possible? Let me know. Thanks.

I've got the Hooker LT's with Eibach Prokit, and have about 2.5" clearance on the driver's side of the Y Pipe (lowest part of mine)
Only big speed bumps have touched it so far, but I'm pretty careful. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have LG's G2 springs with Hookers. The clearance on the headers is fine. The engine crossmember hangs lower than the headers. I have problems at the driver's side tube on the y....from the middle all the way back scrapes on driveways, speed bumps of just about any size, and sometimes on irregular surfaces in the road. I still have 1 - 1 1/2" of clearance between the y and the body, so I plan to modify the pipe to fit better (temporary fix)......until I throw the y as far as I can and have a custom pipe built <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
