Correct freebeard, I was tired and gave a lazy answer

To the OP, the rule of thumb on an airdam is to make it as low as the lowest under hanging piece of your vehicle. Say the lowest point on your truck is the front axle and it is 8" above the ground. You would make the airdam stop 8" above ground level. Black coroplast would match the airdam color you have now and you would be able to tailor it to the desired length.

I believe BigDave had his go nearly all the way to the ground at one point. He has since trimmed a few inches off, I believe -> http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...up-3171-3.html

Snowman, are you okay with putting screws into your ride? I don't see any other way of putting on an airdam or tire splats.
