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
So how much ground clearance is lost in realtionship with the rear diff?
If you can clear that large obstacle with the front diff, what use is it if you can't clear it with the rear diff?
I am wondering because a drop front diff to ease the stress on CV's is going to be my deciding factor whether or not I get a lift.
