There are other considerations as well. An air dam could be closer to the centerline of the front wheels therefore be a little lower and a little less vulnerable to damage at driveway approaches, etc. An air dam even near the front axle line will decrease lift at freeway speeds from the stock set-up. Extending an air dam from the front of the bumper will decrease lift even more and be more slippery overall but vulnerability is a consideration.
