Good God! It smells in here!
No it will actually make it closer to reality. They are a little optimistic when they set them from the factory. Won't be a problem.

I may have gotten 1/2" ground clearance, but I didn't need a lift at all. The tires never rub, even when landing from 4ft in the air. I am running 10" wide in the front and 12" wide in the rear. The dirt devil xts gave me enough traction to wheelie with abandon in high gear. I keep them at 5 psi in front and 4 psi in the back. Hard in the front to corner and soft in the rear to keep alot of the tire in contact with the ground to tame the torque.
