I am at the stage with the thing I am gluing together where I need to decide on how high to set it off the ground. working on straight out belly clearance, how much would you want? I have always had around 500mm or a touch more, but I reckon I could get away with a bit less? The rig will be very slippery underneath and be around 2700mm in wheebase (~105) on 37's for now..

Sooo...
How much belly height have you got?
How much would you like to have? (if different from above, why?)
For apples and apples sake, what wheelbase and tyre size and what terrain do you drive?

Seems alot of the yanks are running around 26 inches [660mm] to transfer case bashplate, and around 74-76 inch [1880-1930mm] roof height. This is a general statement and does not apply to the full on comp buggies ;)

HTH :D

i want dobbins 30 inch rams so i can be low and high.

depends what terrain your driving on. if you wanna do river crossings and bog holes you wouldnt want a low rig.
