haha. atleast you fixed the scraping. That's the only way to do it.

yup, ride low and park lower. I think that's the concept of air, for me atleast. I didn't get air to parking lot pimp. lol

I scrape the flanges on my exhaust all the time...

like Chris mentioned on the first page, to scrape rails means that your exhaust flanges have been worn down to being even with the rails and your cats potentially have holes in them.

More then likely (and thankfully) you are just scraping flanges and maybe your plastic skid plate up front... if your scraping rails, then prepare to get someone to push you off that speed bump, because your teeter-totting.
