Prob a random pic he has in his files.... Removal of the inner fenders, modifying them, or custom/aftermarket units will be required for any rolling stock combo < 27" or so (w/the x-member/a-arms touching the ground).

If I cupped the lower control, willing sit lower?
When using the bag spacers in the coil spring pocket or a plate (both used to prevent the bag from making contact @ the bottom portion of the a-arm) drop will be less vs cupping the lower arm.

What set up is that in the picture? I'll take that set up if it keeps me from spending $3300.00.
Can't answer what that specifc set-up is but....

Cupped arms can get it lower vs not cupping.
A notched x-member can get it lower vs an un-modified x-member.
Dropped spindles help get it lower vs stock units.
Z-ing the frame can get it lower vs w/stock frame rails.

All these suggestions are less than the cost you mentioned but potentially not as safe either depending on the fab work & attention to safety related details.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
