My front was nearly 6" until the smittybilt went on. The rear hangs down 4-5. The real reason i mention this is I got hung up for an hour on it saturday while wheelin. The rear bumper was stuck on the ground while the rear tires spun in the loose mud, not able to get down to the rear ground.

To gain better offroadability (not so much stuff hanging down) I'm gonna remove my rear bumper and weld up a 3" tube as my bumper...to match my front.

Just something to think about.
