I often see lowered mini-trucks in my locality, including one which has the top cut off like a roadster, but how low is "low" on these setups in actual fact? I am worried because I have a dropped front axle with an actual clearance of only 4 1/2" to a level garage floor and that looks marginal if I hit a speed bump at an angle or a country road with a ridge in the middle. How low are you expecting your ride to be? As an "over-the-hill" rodder, I am curious what does the current teen age rodder consider "low"? Maybe production Corvettes are the lowest practical clearance at about 4", but some of these mini trucks look really low although I have not seen any making sparks. Maybe you also have to have a pretty firm suspension to avoid "bouncing too low"? Just chatting to try to understand the latest trends.
