2 - Possible inner fender clearance w 275+ tires. Lower body = closer tolerances when suspension compresses.

There's prob more, but that's all I've seen documented. I wanted half height bushings, but a couple of gurus talked me out of it...
Nailed it! Ben there done that! Atleast as far as the T56 goes...I had to raise the trans tunnel .75"
