17" to the skid and she hangs up on every %@!*%*'ING thing that comes along.
Working on a smooth 20" at this time. Will be better in a couple of weeks.

-Oh no I picked a side-
Mine has been that way for years--works great
As for belly clearance---IMO how the belly is built is more important than how high it is--to a point of course..

Hey shut up kid, aren't you late for your cub scouts meeting or something? :fawkdancesmiley:
Yup, I'm with crash here.... having a SMOOTH bully is more important than exactly how high or low it is. Like that stock yota crossmember, that fawker hangs down about 8" under the frame! Yea that was a SWEET design... Talk about a trail hanger...

When I think of belly clearance I think of CoG more than I think clearance. CoG being more important than flat belly or just about anything else.:;

This is true also--but there is even a point to where too low of a COG will hurt you--aka belly clearance...

I can totally agree with this. This as been more of a quest to get a general idea of what "belly" clearance folks are running and how its working out for them. My plan is to keep a nice, high but flat belly, yet still keep the overall COG low while retaining the looks of the original vehicle. Probably won't be buggy low, I still want to retain a mostly up-right seating position, but not full height. This may involve a little bit of sectioning or channeling the body to get what I'm after
. But first I need to lay the ground work.I can buy that. Isn't that what water in the tires is for
:redneck: Here's what I've got so far, I don't know how long this is going to take me, but its farther than I've gotten over the past 4-5 years of 'talking' about it and parts whoring. I'm probably going to call this the "stop talking about it and just build something already" Build :flipoff:
Frame set at 20" +/-
Slide in an axle at "ride height":
Little more dinking around to see how things fit. Front axle is 5" forward of "stock" and pretty close to right under the highest kick-up of the frame. Engine will be going back both for weight distribution and to clearance the axle. I might even pull what will be left of the body forward to get the proportions right. We'll see when I get to that stage.
Right now I'm waiting for some brackets and start laying out links and drive train.
