The crossmember was about 3" off the ground and would bottom out if you hit something really big, it would happen maybe 1-2 times a week so not too often. The tires front tires were 1.5" from bottoming out on the inner fenders so they'd scrub over bumps. I had 215/75-15's up front, 27.7" tall. Shorter tires would give more inner fender clearance but you'd lose crossemember clearance. Pull one of the fender bolts on each side to keep it from shredding the tire when it scrubs.
