I'm running H&R SS springs and MAC LT headers, and I don't have many problems with ground clearance. As long as you are careful when you drive, you should be fine.

Same here, I have Mac LTs with H&Rs and they actually sit a tad higher than the UPR X-pipe I had previously. Unless the BBKs hang really low, you should be fine.

I have the BBK ceramic coated as well and they barely stick out past the K member. I mean there is about 1/4" sticking out. I think you would be safe as long as you dont go more than 1.5" drop, preferably 1.25"

droping

Who knows how much drop I have (2+ inches). From the ground to the fender is 25 1/2in. I am running hooker l/t only time I ever hit them when I no choice but to go over a big speed bump you just have to watch for stuff.
