i don't know if this helps... but with how lowered i am, i have a HUGE problem gettin the car up in the air to do tire swaps or whatever...
So, i took the jack from my 96 suburban. its one of the REALLY low profile scissor jacks. probably stands about 3" off the ground. just enough to stuff under the frame so i can jack it up..
just a heads up for ya guys!

Lowered max amount with front C6 bolts, and longer bolts in the rear. I try to stick to roads I know. I take rail road tracks very slow too. I can only drive in my rear driveway going in forward. Driving in backwards will scrape the front. It takes some getting used to, but its worth the look I think.

I have heard over the years that some peoples engine temp issues have been fixed with a new front spoiler because there old one was worn down.

BMG, love that color man. Looks fantastic.
I'm not too concerned with cooling issues...the high for the year in Anchorage last summer was about 72. I am concerned with the quality of roads here. I mean, I scrape now and the car is at the stock ride height.

BTW, I live in Florida and have been running NO AIR DAM for a couple of years now.... zero temp issues.

You've got me beat by a good 1/2" or so.
