That sounds like a maximum downforce setup. I suppose it might be useful on ice, but it will probably raise rolling resistance.
That would be a nail-biter setup around here... I've seen guys with 3-4" of clearance trash their bottoms out here, and I rode around with about 2" for awhile, but I decided it was just too hard to negotiate every pebble in the road at the correct angle and raised the 'Scort back up.
