building a zook with 37s and 4link front and rear with about a 104 to 106 wb, mainly used in rock, was aiming for 14 to 16 inches, is that to low?

I'd shoot for 16 rather than 14. Sounds nice and stable though.

I agree the 20" mark seems to be the go.

I'd say as long as tyou can still see your toes all is good.

I'd say as tall as practical whilst still maintianing a decent centre of gravity. Keep you rbulk weight lower and you can still have stability at higher position.

Actually, on reflection, I'd shoot for 18" - roughly the same belly height as axle centreline - as a starting point.
