But I got tired of listening to it grind, so I shortened it up to 9 inches above grade.

Now it doesn't drag or look dorky, but it is nearly worthless in improving MPG.

I'm trying to learn GIMP so I can shrink down my pix to a size the site can handle.
Very interesting. I've not put an extended air dam on my truck, but after reading this I might have to try that. I also plan to drop mine about 2 inches. Both should help in the MPG arena...
