How low exactly are you trying to go? If static, don’t try to be a scraper, as replacement parts that will inevitably get damaged are
pricey to replace. Also depends on what wheel, tire combo you want to run. You may want to look in to rolling the lips of your fenders and quarters and slightly pulling them also, as well as wore tucking your harnesses located in the wheel wells. The. Comes the modification to clear the control arm bolts in the fender wells. Most people cut a clearance hole, but when I get ready to bag mine, I will not only cut those holes, but create a capnto reinforce and close said hole and allow for clearance of that upper control arm (It may be the ball joint) bolt.

I was thinking maybe like a few inches off of the ground like static I do know that I would have to relocate the harnesses and roll my fenders and also I'm going to be buying weds wheels 18 or 19" wheels I haven't decided on the tire size yet though
