by dropping the front axle you actually are dropping the axle lower to the ground...you are keeping the ride height, but losing clearance...


if you once could run over a rock that was 16 inches off the ground, if you lower the front axle, you will not be able to run over that rock anymore.

if you take a stock VX and drop the axle 1.5 inches...then your clearance will drop to almost 7 inches instead of the 8.8
