For which car?

I like the numbers idea, but I don't want the judging to become a math quiz. Plus worked fenders aren't going to have the same height measurements as crispy clean unmolested fenders. We still need to retain some judgement calls on whether or not it looks slammed. Unless frame rail pics (ex.) prove otherwise. IMO slammedness relates mostly to ground clearance.

Example: my buddy's 4x4 Chevy Blazer. The body doesn't look slammed by any means, but his t-case & differential have less than 2" of ground clearance. So yes, the b**** is slammed. Who the hell slams a 4x4 SUV? He slams a 4x4 SUV! lol

edit: also...on the 1st page....could you capitalize the R & B in my name? Faggoty little pet peeve of mine. lol

exactly! like familia for example. his super flared fenders are probably an inch higher then stock.... hence why i always said frame rails..
but also as yousaid i dont want this to turn into a numbers only game.. i want this to be all about having fun and being slammed.
so i think can test etc should be the way to go.
the fender thing is going to be too much of a pain i think cause then without yardstick pictures showing fender height there is no proof lool
 
And if you think you're slammed but bumper ground clearance isn't there...just show us your scraped oil pan and frame rail reference shots ;)

So which car/s are needing official votes yet? Funk posted a list but IDK which car it was for.
 
Here's the current cars up for voting I think. 719, I think we need some better pics to determine your slammed-ness

Agreed. Something more from the side. Like the following pics. And a reference pic. Soda at bumper or reference pic showing a low frame.

Gut instinct says yes but I'd still like a reference pic of some sort before I give my official vote.

Honestly this pic is perfect if he'd put the 2x4s closer to/under the bumper. Shows a good side shot for fender gap and overall car height, while having a reference item (2x4s) in the shot at the same time. But based on his statement saying his bumper clears both 2x4s, albeit barely, it's still too high IMO for a slammed number. So my vote goes no until he goes a bit lower.
 
I'm gonna have to agree with RhoadBlock on that one. My lip scraped a single 2x4 and I needed to get it up on one then put another on top after the first was cleared. Long ramps...

For 16s that doesn't look slammed either. I am sure the ground clearance could be less.

yea the fact that 16's are bares tucking tire concerns me a bit but it has a low look.
and even me on 16's and 50 profile i have to do the same method as you chef to get on two 2x4's.... crappy jacks FTL
 
I've got low profile aluminum racing jacks and still had to drive either drive on 2x4s or jack up another spot a bit to get the low profile under the rear diff to jack the rear up. Front I just started taking my bumper off and jacking up the crash bar so I could fit my aluminum jack under the factory jacking point lol.
