3 inches is pretty low, theres no need to have it too low. 2 inches is a good height, looks good, functional

the thing that will scrub is your exhaust, coz gem's dont have full sick bro body kits, 3 inches is still VERY practical.

if your exhaust is stock it will hang pretty low, if youve got extractors itl sit heaps higher and you will have no worries
