I can see the undercarriage pretty clearly on my '65.  I really don't think they raised  the car 2" though.  I thought the difference only came from the tire size change which is only like 1/2".  I'm not saying GM didn't put the spoiler there to hide the bits, that could very well be why, it's just I I'm not sure it was directly due to the ride height change.
