Need heavy fending rolling in the rear if you're dropped and stretched tires. If you have stiff coils you can get away with a higher ride height with perhaps minimal to no rolling.

like this, it doesn't necessarily have to be so extreme though

Im hoping to have as little of the actual rim lip sticking out as possible, I don't mind a little bit of it, but that's just too much
