    Also, a good fabricator could lower the stock clip pick-up points between the framerails if he wanted to put forth the effort, but then again there are ground clearance rules.
    I have never been the sharpest knife in the drawer but if you moved your ride heights back to 4 wouldnt it simply change the angle of the lower ? Or is what your saying that the cross member will still rise and your moment center move?

      I'll keep it simple. The same geometry from slotted lower fab clip can be accomplished with a stock clip, it takes some work but it can be done. Is it legal ? No, but very few have been caught in the tech shed.

      Did you know some stock clips have been acid dipped to reduce weight ?

      A fab clip makes all the cheating with a stock clip a waste of time and money.

          Yes, ride height changes lower control arm angle and everything else.

          Lowering the crossmember in the frame would be a way to lower the pick-up points without easily being detected. It's blatant cheating if caught.
