My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade

[Tx Firefighter]

My height at the old static drop level was frame 7 inches from the ground. I could lay it down flat and still fit my fist between the top of the tire and the fender.

My tentative plan is to have my frame be 4-5 inches from the ground at ride height. Then at full drop, I'd like to keep the frame about 1 inch from the pavement. So I won't be laying anything on the ground at all. I do figure I'll notch it excessively in the back and use bump stops to control how far down it will go. That way if I ever grow in tire size in the future, I'll have the option of still having frame notch to work with and can shorten the bump stop to drop it further to compensate for the bigger tires.
