Here's a question. How does the air ride suspension increase ground clearence. I can understand changing the breakover angle and depart angles but how the ground clearence since you have to measure from the lowest point (the dif)?

I don't believe it would change the ground clearance. The air ride suspension would only change the height of the body not the differential. Hence changing breakover, departure and approch angles. Just my logic. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

From looking at the specs on the hummer web site, the ground clearance is measured under the front skid plate. I think by lifting the back up, it brinks the front skidplate off the ground a tiny little bit. I'll do it at home and see tonight. It would not affect the rear ground clearance though.
