Hi Railroad. In my opinion don't be afraid of an extra 1/2 inch or so. I live in the country, lot's of bumpy roads, pot holes, and big speed humps. I wanted a little extra breathing room under the car, set the frame height at 5 inches. I like the look and I am not worried about bottoming out. The alignment and handling is just fine. I am told the ride may be a little stiffer, but I'll drive the Lincoln if I want luxury. IMG_0462.jpg
