I don't understand why people say a vehicle needs to be low. It doesn't matter how much air is moving under the vehicle. What matters is the drag on the parts hanging down. If the body directs air under the car and compresses it, more height would reduce drag.

Someone posted an study or something a while back about height of the vehicle, and it addressed the myth of distance from the ground and drag.

The only bad part about lifting is exposing more suspension and tires to the airstream.
