No problem with steering clearance on mine. It's a 500 Caddy sitting behind the cab. Yes mines dropped down, the floor is about 3" off the frame in the front, the running boards are 6" off the ground. Needed to be able to get it through a 7' garage door and I didn't want to chop it, I feel the body below the windows is the correct ratio (2/3 - 1/3) for the glass area.
