But very impractical for my country town. Not many driveways can be tackled and you occasionally have to cross speed humps using two lanes. Mind you I have a gt front bumper. It may not be so bad with the stocker. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78031-how-low-should-i-go/#findComment-1165910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go the SSL / Ultras combo or you'll regret it later. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78031-how-low-should-i-go/#findComment-1165964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you measure that you will know how low you can go - or just do what Henz said and budget for a new bumper...

Noobs like Wormy having to drive at 4wd height Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78031-how-low-should-i-go/#findComment-1166195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
