Traction Bar Ground Clearance

My truck is dropped 4" in the rear so ground clearance is a bit of a problem.

Which aftermarket Traction bars will afford me the most ground clearance?

My Silverado has a 4" drop and I use Calvert CalTrac Bars #3400. Never had a problem with ground clearance.

My regular cab is lowered 2/4 with hangers and shackles...no problem with clearance on Cal-tracs. I wish i would of waited for the Assain bars though...seems like they would work better on none flip kit applications.

Jim, my muffler hangs down lower than my Cal-Tracs. Here's a pic, 11 inches of clearance.

Side shot of my truck, to give you an idea of ride height.

I believe it would be impossible to hit the bracket on the ground, unless your wheel snapped off.
