Thinking about Brian's story is how you end up buying a skid plate off eBay.
Having Bilstein HDs also help keep the bounce down.
I don't think I've ever been airborne in my MB, yet it did feel pretty loose at the crest of every hill on the 120 near Mono Lake, coming from NV hwy 6, and of course bottomed out in every trough, one after another. It was kinda fun, yet decided I didn't want to rip the pan out there in the middle of nowhere, so I slowed down.

Well my oil pan issues were complicated. I was coming out of IKEA and the signal was turning yellow, so I hit the pedal and became airborne (big dips going east/west). When I landed I had two punctures, stopped three blocks away to visit someone, came back out 1 hour later, saw the oil but did not check the dip stick. Shut it down a mile later but the damage was done. Was checking the paperwork yesterday and saw that I bought her (Mary) in 1994 for $6000 @ 60,000 miles. She was a bargain and she ran like a top - sorry I messed her up.
These things don't fly well. Going up is fine, but coming down, well...
