Wheel travel/articulation: Another negative of the x. Without a rear locker, youll find that getting 'two wheel' stuck happens more often than you'd like. This is probably the number 1 limitation in my opinion. Invest in a rear locker and wheel travel wont matter as much anymore.
what kind of ground clearance are you talking about?? from the diffs or to the underbody? As I can see it, the clearance to the diffs are about the same as a reg (taco) pickup with the same size tires of course...also I'm not sure but I think the wheelbase of the x is a little bit shorter than most pickups so that helps out on the getting 'high-centered' and under belly damage
