Thanks. I have had a 3.0 and had it off road, and was rather impressed. No its not a jeep, but I did get through a few things that I didn't think I should.
I thought the clearance was just over 8inches, and the 4.4 and 4.8 we slighltly less as you mentioned.
I am thinking about getting a 4.8is. I know the cars are very different, do you like the 4.8 and would you make the change again?
My other option would be to get a new 3.0.
