We were 91° today before the rains moved in, we're now at 74° with light rain.

Would a body lift help any?

We'll also have a hurricane coming thru here on Friday dumping 5-8" of rain. I'll send that to you also.

Body was lowered originally when I did the frame swap, lifting it again would be a lot more work to do now. So far at the ride height it was at I've never scraped anything but I'm careful entering any steep driveways or railway crossing etc. Lowest point is about 4 1/2"
