The top hats of the MII are not above the frame as in the case of some of the other manufacturers. This allows the clearance needed for the 235 engine. You do sacrifice a couple of inches of drop in the overall height of the front end but that can be made up by cutting down the coil springs. If you are looking to slam it on the ground, then you may want to go to an air ride system. I plan on driving my truck to work every day during the fair weather months, so I didn't want go the air bag route.
