Lower than a 6/8 for a DD

Anyone running lower than a 6/8 drop for a daily driver? And if you have a picture of how it sits that would be great too.

Thanks!

Unless you get the crossmember up in the frame (dropmember, etc),...
your a-arms will be too close to the ground.
My '69 with a 5.5" front drop has the a-arms 2.5" from the ground.

I have seen the stock crossmember sectioned a 1.5". How much clearance do you gain with a drop member?
