ZL1 vs 1LE Ground Clearance?

Sorry if this has been asked - I searched for a while before posting.

Is there a difference between ZL1 and ZLE ground clearance? I used to have a 2018 ZL1 that barely cleared a steep driveway and want to know if I should expect the same from a ZLE.

The clearance is the same. And the ZLE can actually be lowered in the nose

The ZLE is probably a bit lower with the DSSV suspension and slightly different front splitter. My Mom's driveway isn't even that steep, but going over the curb entering her driveway raises one back tire off the ground because the chassis is so stiff. Just something to consider with the driveway you describe.

My Z/28 sits a tad higher than a ZL1 ... Fyi ... don't know why, but it does.

I hardly ever scrape anything.

My 1LE scrapes on very slight transitions... it is an issue , so be very careful. The front splitter is the usual victim..,

I did the square APEX ARC-8's 19x10's with 285/35-19's and I get a little more clearance now compared to the stock wheels and some areas where I visit seem not so bad now compared from before.

This is true, but they added several rubber pieces in center and on sides that usually take the hits first and hold up well. Also, new splitter main section that can be scraped (not including upright wings on sides), is less than $200 shipped.

This and low cost of the Undertray I cracked on track seem to be kept low by Chevy to make common points of track damage affordable, which is a nice surprise.
