Re: Lowest

5" is getting close to the limit in the front. Just remember that when you go as low in the front as you can on springs, the issue isn't the amount of clearance from the ground to the crossmember, it's the clearance between the lower control arms and the ground. You have to completely change the way you drive, or you'll beat your LCAs to death.

There are tons of ways to gain clearance, some cheap and some expensive. Use the Search function and look up the terms Dropmember, Sectioning Crossmember, and Z'ing. Hours and hours of info.
