depends on what you use for bags with cupped stock lower control arms and a 2" C notch I can get X to within 1.5" but your going to have to remove or do something with your innner fenders and an adjustable panard bar

About a 4/6 drop. Anything more up front will buzz more often than desired.

Im runnin 31x10.5 r15 up front right now with a 4.5 drop and it has only rubbed once while bein stupid with my buddies and doin donuts. plus i didnt have a sway bar then which made it lean into the turn quite a bit. so my guess is you could go a little lower than i am as long as you watch how you drive
