[QUOTE="JDodd, post: 524070, member: 3629"] Ive built these jeeps and have never worried about the belly height. I set the axles with the tires under the body and then set it so I can have 6" of up travel before hitting the body. With a stock frame you will end up with 3-4" of up travel before you hit it so I always cut it and rebuild it tight to the body. [b]TJ[/b] 113" Wheelbase on 42's, 5" up travel front and 6" rear. Has no frame modifications (could have set lower) [b]YJ[/b] 116" Wheelbase on 43's, 6' up travel front and rear, frame raised front and rear [b]CJ[/b] 116" Wheelbase on 42's, 6' up travel front 7' rear, frame raised front and rear (had fenders put on later) [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_1122.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_1122.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_1123.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_1123.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/FullSizeRender.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/FullSizeRender.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_0786.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_0786.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_0784.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_0784.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_0791.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_0791.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/DSC_0789.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/DSC_0789.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
