Now if my 315 would fit without rubbing with a 2'' drop is another story. I just think it doesnt look as clean going under the axle.

Glad to see you made the right choice
Good info.

I'm debating whether to go 2.5" over or 3" over.

I know that I want the Strano lowering springs which should drop it about 1.25-1.5".

go over the axle. it'll be a waste of your time/money if you go under and it just looks horrible

Myth.

The under axle parts are usually higher than the rest of the damn system.
