          3 inches. I have a spare in the basement, but that is only because I had to buy another one to have a bung welded into for the turbo drain haha.

                            I'm pretty low. Ummm if I bounce off my bump stops the skid plate is on the ground.

                              you loose a lot of clearance with that skid. ^ your pan is about as low as mine, only i dont have a skid plate :x

                                Yaaa the skid plate hangs down pretty far from the pan! It saved my car though, I went up a curb in l.a. The other day and the skid plate did the trick.
