Ground clearance is mostly unimportant in and of itself beyond being able to clear the 1/4" polycarbonate triangles this year. As people have stated, the only reason it matters is for the sake of lowering CG. But, this does not mean putting pieces of your frame very low to the ground will do much. Moving your 10lb frame up or down 1 or 2" is pretty much a mute point. Where you mount the rest of your heavy stuff is what really counts. A low clearance is pointless if you don't make sure your electronics, battery, pneumatics, drive train, etcetera are as close to the ground as possible
