Default Tricky air how low is low question

This is for all you tricky air owners or other air suspension system owners.
We all know that these systems will lower your rear 5 inches more or less and will seat the rear fender on the rear tire when lowered. Most of the threads i have seen concentrate on the fender and how it lowers. My question is of another nature. When the system is lowered how close to the ground is the rear of the frame? I am talking about the section just under the belt guard section of the rear most sedction of the frame. any pictures would be apreciated. i will probalby have to modify this section of the frame for my 330 build (the side section on the outside of the belt) and i was thinking that while at it if the tricky air will lower this section enough i might want to get rid of the side stand and make up something at the back that when lowered will keep the bike standiong up as with that tire out back it will not take much.

Thanks G but they do not really show the clearance from the ground to the frame in the completely lowered state hopefully one of our memebers with air ride will chime in with some pics
