Rig: GV Gen 1
Tyres: 35x12.5R16 Mickey Thompson MTZ
Chassis height: 15"
Wheelbase: 98"

Height is about right, the body is too damn tall on these things. I'd like the chassis to be half inch higher and the roof to be 2 inches lower.

My most favourite setup by far.

rig: '89 WT
tyres: 32x9.5x15 Pedes, measured 32.7, beadlocked 15x7 F100 rims and 1 inch wheel spacers
height to bottom of chassy rail(not crossmember): 19 inches
WB: 86 inches
do you want it higher or lower: Was perfect, only ever felt unstable when climbing or decending steep steps so the fron or rear would tend to get a bit light however a longer WB would mean I would have bellied out.

If you're bellying out on a 86" wb and 19" chassis height what chance do I have :? Might need 35s :lol:

The LJ is 13.5" to the chassis rails (flat belly with belly plate at the same height) with a 77" wheelbase on 235/85r16 tyres. Sometimes it bellys, sometimes it rolls... If I change the ride height it will just make it do more of one and less of the other.

Definitely keen to see how yours goes a longer WB would possibly have helped me in some situations but not a loss in hieght. Harvey, Brunswick, Collie and the likes should be ok Mick and Ante seem to handle things pretty well, Birko did Bobs on 32's in his LWB, its just unfortunate I dont have access to the Toodyay property anymore.

Here is one of a couple of vids/pics I have where it has got hung up on something on the belly.

Ive got 17" to bottom of chassis
On 32"s that measure more like 33"s
Standard lwb wb

I have it setup quite stiff with the resting height quite high as its my daily i didnt want a boat at high speeds.
I reckon i could prob drop 2" and soften it up a heap once its retired from daily duties.
It does flex ok as long as im not going too fast, 4.1 diffs and 6:5s make it super slow and easy to manage

Nomad, you WB is the distance between your front and rear axle, not the distance side ways across your car. Spacers don't effect it.

at 70 inches you would be shorter than my LJ
