1. On a cold engine spray completely with 409 cleaner. Use a nylon brush to release grease and
dirt.
2. Take 4 oz baking soda mixed with 1 quart hot tap water. Use this solution to neutralize the
battery acid residue on the terminals and upper surface of the battery.
Let cleanser and baking soda solution stand for 5 min's.
3. Prep a hose and spray attachment. START engine, immediately rinse off cleanser and dirt. Avoid
spraying excessive water on the electrical wiring, alternator and fuse box.
4. After rinse and with the engine still running use an air hose and attachment and blow dry any
remaining moisture. Run engine until the engine components are visibly dry.
5. Turn off motor and use Adams Undercarriage spray and whip all surfaces in the engine bay.
6. Finish up using Adams In & Out spray.
7. Step back in Awe!

OK it's actually a little more complicated than I thought it would be. On the CS front there is the center section which is the unpainted black plastic. At the front leading edge it is 6.25" but underneath its at 5.75". Then on either side of this center section there is a painted section that is lower and you can kind of see this in pictures. At this point on either side at the leading edge its 6" off the ground but up underneath it is 5.25".
So you can clear anything less than a 5.25" curb with a CS front bumper and FRPP springs.

I'll have to measure the CDC and see how they stack up. Got a feeling that the CDC is lower and if so going to a CS front end would help reduce the number of scrapings I have(the CDC looks like crap right now, IMO)
But... there is the other side of my brain that says that 1K+ to get it all done painted and painting stripes just isn't worth it until I go forged.... ARGH. Too many things to do and not enough money to go around.
