Well, now, 2" is much better. Assuming you gave up off roading, the only thing you have to watch out for is the raised gas tank fill covers at some service stations ......

Yep, hit one of those and make some sparks ...... and KABOOOM ...... your car's new ride height is about 6 feet off the ground, upside down.

I hit one of those in an in-lowered miata, up in Canada, put a big gouge in my under panel. Another Canadian station that I stopped at on that trip, the click off on the filler nozzle didn't click off as I was inside the station taking a leak.

There was about a 40 liter gas puddle surrounding my car. The dude tried to charge me for 80 liters ........ I paid him for 35 liters and pushed my car out of the puddle and drive off.

Lesson learned: Don't leave your car when you are refueling ........

@Cole @Tcoat ........ is that a Canadian trick to sell more gas ...... ??
