Car looks great, David. The factory ride height seems to be biased to the "utility" part of "sport utility" while yours now is biased towards "sport". For my use, I need all the clearance I can get on job sites, so I prefer the higher factory height.

If I did nothing but street driving, I'd certainly prefer the stance you got out of yours.
 
The 19" wheels are more of a concern for me, I scraped one of the stock wheel rims last year on dirt tracks while on holidays. I'd fit a set of 17" wheels with slightly higher tyres if I was doing that sort of thing again.
Absolutely. It's a concern of mine also. The black painted 19" wheels I have will show scrapes more than the aluminum or silver painted aluminum.
