Minimal operational clearance: Cross-member to ground?

Hey guys, I have been thinking about cars where the lower frame rails are running 4" - 5" off the ground, the front cross member will be the first point of contact for road hazards. What is a safe running clearance for the cross member to ground? I'm thinking coil-overs with 2.5" compression & 2.5" rebound will be a firm, but street able solution. That would be 1.5" clearance on compression. What are your thoughts?
