I was wondering cuz I live in an area that has bad speed bumps. I can go over them, if I go slowly but if not I scrape my cat. I want to go with Hooker LT's and true duels. So what kind of clearance am I looking at here? Like I said I can go over the speed bump normally, so I still have the option to hiting the speed bump at an angle if that will help. I know for pre 96 Z28's true duels do not really fit that well but it can be done I just don't want to end up scraping every time I go over a speed bump.

 

If the duals are done correctly the clearance isn't that bad. I can go straight over speed bumps and not rub, as long as I go slow....larger bumps and entrances I take at an angle and have no problems.

You can check out pictures on my website.

I have Hooker LTs and header mufflers and I avoid speed bumps.
I don,t think there is any way around it with LTs, you are going to lose ground clearance any way you look at it.
I put an Eibach drag launch kit on my car and I still don,t have that good of clearance, if I had lowered the car it would be undrivable.
Its up to you but if your speedbump problem is as bad as you make it out to be you will be scraping over them with just you in the car, add a passenger and you will be at the point where they have to get out to get over the bump.
I have had to do this a couple times already.

 

Dang, well how well can the LT's take bottoming out.

 

Well first every car is different.
You might end up with a little more clearance than I had but not much.
Unless you hit that speed bump at like 20 MPH or over its not gonna bottom out. It will scrape but not bottom out.
Speed bumps are the only problem I have just driving around town is OK and I don,t hit anything. I like my headers but you just have to be a little more cautious about things and you learn where you can go and where you can,t go.
