Can you roll dumped?

Could a car such as the one below with air runner drive while dumped?

I'm talking like roll at 5mph with no turning of any kind. What about dumping the front on the highway? or is that a :slap:

without turning many can unless they are limited by their front and/or rear tires touching the upper fender lining/metal.

I think it would all depends on the road conditions.

Here, driving 5" off the ground will mess up your bumper.

in my travels I noticed that we (seattle) have pretty good roads here...not the best but certainly no where close to the worse.


I removed the fender liners on a couple cars. my GS cannot turn when slammed. The front bumper is about 1/4 off the ground

I am about an inch from laying frame on coils with 19/20 on my gs and I drive evrywhere! I think it alll depends on your car's clerance underneath and the wheelwell clearances and how they match up when dumped. Plus the fender clearance if you turn

if your rims tuck, it all depends on tire/fender rubbage.
My front fenders sit on my tires, and if I zeroed out my back I would curb my rim!! DOH!!!!! :pat:

If you tried to roll like that on an EGG you will be leaking oil in no time.........design flaw with the oil tank hanging below the frame........but you can't expect much when the engine in the EGG..........it came out of a Forklift.

If you make room in the fenders, totally not a problem.

A lot of people on coilovers have much lower ride heights than the air guys.

Tucking tire and getting around just fine. Except fast corners, but hey, what can you do? lol

i ride super low on my way to work and back cuz the drive is safe. if you go anywhere where you have to turn and hit dips its a no. but it all depends on the offsets of your wheels and the turning clearance. on my gs you cant even crank the wheels that hard if even the tire is tucked. is the front wheels had more of a standard offset it would be fine. but not with wide wheels.

Like the folks above said, it's all about being able to turn the
wheels when you're that kind of low. Turning in/out of driveway
curtains will push the tire into the fender if you're not careful
(ask me how I know this!).

I also have front bumper clearance issues and exhaust clearance
issues over speedbumps. God forbid I should have four people
in the car at the local town center... I would literally 'high-center'
the car (expensive see-saw!)

But it looks so sweet on the move... (one person in the car here)

You know your rolling low when you get high centered. I had the same problem with one passenger in my SC. The front height was limited by the frame in the front fender well. It really needed to be cut out or tubbed to roll really low.

I kind of miss these wheels.

But new ones will have more lip and less offset.
