Good for you VeeGee! Glad you found the height you were after. You'll get used to that scraping and it's just the plastic air dam anyway.
You might want to remeasure it in a week or two and maybe raise the tail end a quarter to a half inch to keep the rake in it.

After reading how eliminating the 'rake' affected the aerodynamic lift at high speed, I decided to re-adjust the rear by raising it 3 turns of the screws, which in effect, amounted to about a quarter-inch.
The way I see it, a little rake is better than no rake at all....and it STILL looks a heck of a lot better than the 4X4 look I had before lowering it.
