Actually, the only thing that will really increase your ground clearance is taller tires. No matter how high your lift is, your differentials are always the same height off the ground. A torsion bar lift will raise the diff a small amount, but thats limited by the design of all the other front end parts (CV joints, etc.). The lowest part of the Superlift are the cross-frames used to drop the lower A-arms pivot points. The front diff is just as low as these frames. You can see a little of this in the photo.

So, to answer your question, you should avoid those big rocks
