I can say that it scared the crud out of me when driving my truck through a gas station and my cross member struck one of the steel fuel tank caps in the gas station parking lot! It's low enough to cause problems, but I sure love the way that it looks! LOL.

Haha, if we wanted practical vehicles, we'd all be driving a Ford Focus!
I once built a '34 Ford rat rod with about 2-1/2" clearance. I fabricated some steel rollers under the frame. When I went in driveways it would ride on the rollers with a horrible metallic scraping sound. Everyone assumed I was scraping bottom. All part of the outlaw image!
