If you mount Ti skids to the frame, you will give the fans a show when you click it ;D

When it wears holes in the lower frame rails :)

Well I am a show man. Wait maybe that's show off, well which ever .I have fun.

build in sufficient ground clearance so a drop tire size doesn't materially affect the ground clearance. Not so much an issue on a funny car but diggers can run anywhere from 30in to 33.5in tire.

Actually the spread can be anything from 28" to 36" depending on how much motor you are trying to hook up. And if you are making that big of a change you either guessed very wrong to start with or made a radical change to the overall powerplant package. If anything, you should build for the smallest tire that you might run and live with the subsequent change in motor angle etc if you go larger. Depending on the wheelbase and how far out the motor is in your 30 to 33.5 example the ground clearance will vary by more than an inch at the mid plate.
