Clearance ?

I have a Hooker long tubes with a Mufflex system. And currently my ground clearance is I can roll a pop can under with out hitting the Mufflex and thats about it. This is with a 150,000 mile plus on the current stock spring & strut ride hieght. I'm replacing the struts and springs with Lakewood Struts And Morrosso Trick Springs. I have the option of using uncut trick springs or 1" cut trick springs.
My question is; due to the old spring strut sagging if I go with the new 1" cut springs would the ride stay the same as the old or would it get better/worse? Or should I use the new uncut springs which will probley raise the front more than I would like for looks.
I also have LCA relocation brackets that I can use too.

Re: Clearance ?

I'm guessing theres no replys maybe because this is more a suspension question so I'll move it over there!
