Default Stock height w/ straight axle

Is this possible? how low will the front end go over a straight axle? What will it hit?

PS: I know this is the wrong section, but i figured lifted guys know more about sfa convo's than anyone else.

It would be cool if DTE made a brace for the front diff's similar to their brace for the Corvette IRS. How fast can you run on a sfa in 4x4? Anybody ever tried it?
