Can you remove just the cross beams?
If it's anything like the ZJ, then yes, you can remove the cross beams and leave the long ones (what are they called again?) on there. but that requires removing the whole rack, in which once you've done this, you might as well leave it all off.

I have mine in my brothers bedroom I've got a thread on doing some of this stuff, but the problem is it's all for zj's.

I know that the ZJ has a small lip that pushes air down towards the pavement. don't know how far it pushes it.

The problem with putting an air dam on one of these is there is no longer an approach angle, and you end up scraping up everything with it.

With lowering it, I don't know where you'd get a lowering kit for a Jeep, or what Jeep owner would have the heart to lower it. But if you can find a lowering kit, for the price of the springs/shocks etc. you might as well find and buy a geo or beater civic to roll around in. There'd be better returns anyway.

A belly pan wouldn't be such a bad Idea, I've thought about it a few times, it'd keep stuff from getting as badly gouged on a big rock, and I finally found a nearby (17 miles) sign shop I could buy coroplast from. Might just give it a try
