        Yes they do sit about 1 inch lower. I have been half dollar height now for a couple days now and already have taken like 7-8 hard pan hits... they turn the engine oil light on...

        I have plans to raise the motor, and skid plate this weekend.

        also bought wheels...

              I'm test fitting them today. there still in boxes. and I will give you a hint it starts with R..

              and I plan on getting a good 1/2 inch if not more. right now I have about 1 inch of clearance, and its taking a beating.

                        I think it's safe to say I am overly exited.
