[QUOTE="mark, post: 1077073, member: 16354"] What are folks running for "Belly Height". Distance from ground to effective 'bottom of frame'. Both Buggys, Truggys and Wheelers. Size of tire and is it enough??, too much?? or just right?? I have a bare frame (standard frame, not tube frame) sitting on the garage floor and I'm going to start laying things out, making stuff fit and setting the heights. End result (I hope) is something between a truggy and a buggy to the best of my budget and time allow. I've somewhat randomly chosen a frame (ride) height of 20". Going for a mostly flat belly with a crossmember/skid plate at the most hanging down 1" or so. With 40" tires (39.'s actually) that would put the belly right about the center line of the axle. Too low?? Too high? Just about right? I haven't started laying things out, so it might just have to go up to fit with clearance between the motor, front axle and links, but I'd like to get a good feal for a starting point.
