Did you loose any ground clearance with the V8R rails?

I saw the Tien on the silver rental a while back at MRLS. It intrigued me so I kept my eyes open. I managed to ****** up a used one on the local forum for $45. I was running frogarms + HT + HDHTDD and the addition of the Tien STB made a noticeable difference. Of course, some assmonkey at either the exhaust, alignment or clutch place crushed my passenger frame rail flat with a jack. Now everything squeaks on that side. FML
Hopefully I can 'massage' it back into place with a BFH and get a pair of FM or V8R frame rails to fit.

Frame rails have bolt heads.

I figured the bolt heads for the frame rails were far enough up against the floor pan that they wouldn't affect ground clearance?

My driveway is super retarded, I have to take it at a pretty drastic angle or I risk scraping. Before the 'burly' stb, I could almost balance the car on the pass front and driver rear while on the high spot, drivers front was at full droop. Flex was bad enough that the dome light would come on. After the Tien, it stopped doing that. Then after the crushed frame rail, it started doing it again. Not exactly scientific, but there was definitely an effect. I need to raise my ride height regardless.
