My frame is 3 1/2" off ground. Bell housing is a problem at about 2/1/2". Bought car used and bell housing was smashed at bottom so much so that the ring gear had worn through the sheet metal. Had to weld on strengthened sheet metal (2 1/8" pieces sandwiched) to act as a "bumper" to ward off additional damage.
Real issue is the side pipes were installed at too low of an angle and will drag going over even a moderate bump or a dip in the road at speed. The pipes are so damaged now I am going to replace and correct headers or what ever to ge proper clearence for pipes. they constant banging on the road has damaged (loosened) the slip fit connections.
