watch the tides. if you get a high tide or a low tide. you will mess up your front end. how low of a drop you have??

i have seen people get on with lip kits. but way to many varibles to risk it in reality. i would say no do not try it. you can you drive around.
from tacoma
Take Highway 16 West to Highway 3 North towards Poulsbo. Exit at the Highway 305 Bainbridge Island exit. The Resort is located just before the Agate Pass Bridge.

I had DF210's on my xB with a lip kit that was SUPER low. Now I have Tein SS Coils that are even lower and have had zero issues getting into places.

FYI DF210's are a super low drop springs for the xB's.

H-techs aren't that low to be honest. Even with a lip, you have clearance. I don't think you should have a problem at all.
