AP1 - stock ride height, no extra lip. Bank of Obama in Stockbridge Georgia has a steep enough drive that the front bumper drags so I park in back and use the walk up ATM or go inside. That drive is so steep that the Reese hitch reciever on the back of my Wifely Unit's Grand Marquis drags really hard. Many parking places I back in since the mufflers are much higher than the front bumper cover. Also, because you are sitting so far back you will be inclined to stop before you get to the curb or bumper.

Trailer loading - since the deck of my trailer is about 12" off the ground and the ramps are only 5 1/2 feet long, I use a couple of pieces of 5/4 deck lumber for ramp extensions. I have seen some people jack up the back of their trucks to give them a better angle of incline on their ramps.

 

The standard S2000 ground clearance spec is 4.2". I know my EZ Car Lift will not fit under it as it's 4.5" high on the floor, I have to put the front tires on blocks to slide the lift under. Doesn't take much. (These are "leveling blocks" from an old camper.)

I've seen a couple ap1's where the suspension has sagged a fair bit from factory specs, more on the front than the rear. They sit pretty high in factory form but they can sag over time.
