Surprised I didn't see this thread before. I was tooling around with my car last night and realized the QT bell hangs below the frame rails about an inch, maybe 1.25. I had thought about cutting it down but Brent mentioned the QT's don't need it. For reference, my frame is set at 5.0" front and 5.5" rear (on 15" wheels), and the pan is just about level with the bottom of the frame rails. The bottom of the front air dam is about 3.5", and lower than the bottom of the bell. I don't really want to cut the bell because (1) it changes the integrity of the bell, and (2) I don't want to take it all apart. Have many people had problems with similar clearance?
