Frame/chassis upkick distances

I am in the process of building a buggy. I want it to have a very low stance, like Jenny Craig/Moon Rover low. I am running tons and it will have 44's. I am thinking 110-112 wheelbase with a 20'' belly and a 65-70'' roof height. I have all the parts gathered, and the steel sitting on my shop floor. I am ready to cut some frame rails right now, they are 2x4 .188 wall rectangular tubing. My question is how much up kick should I put into the frame? The measurement from bottom frame rail to bottom of the front frame rail is what I am thinking. I cut some templates and I am thinking around 12" up kick. How much up kick are most of the low slung, 1 ton rigs running. Pics would help a lot too. Thanks guys.

Here's some pics of Jenny Craig and moon rover. Looks like at least 12". Maybe more.

I have 13"

I'm curious as to what other people have as well. Really can't tell by pics

Thanks for the pics guys. Anyone else?

Mine is 12" shoulda gone 14

16" on dirty girl, 18" belly with 6.5" uptravel in front.

Thanks, man I have been following your build. Very informative and good tech. Excellent fab work.

Thanks.

Anyone running more than 16" upkick? Or is that about the norm?
