16" belly....thats a tough one.I would assume you have some sort of anti-wrap bar in the rear....does it produce any lift to help if yer belly hung?Do you have a wrap bar up front?

My front links have no seperation at the skid plate so when I put the car in reverse it creates alot of anti-squat and I can "usually" back/bump back off a belly hang.With the leafs and the low belly it seems like you be screwed if you set down on "anything" with no ability to make lift......interesting.

And to answer the rest of your origonal question....

I'm happy with my 26" height it works out rather well. Thats with a 128 1/2" wheelbase too so I need a bit more height under the belly. I keep trying to convince myself to drop it down to 23" but I fear getting stuck on my belly too much....

I am stuck on my belly and can not get up.....:haha:

20'' belly 103'' wb 73.5'' top F/R steer with LS1..............also basicly badass

my tires have a little extra pressure right now. the belly normally sits at about 19''

no i dont have any traction bars, but i dont do get very much axle rap at all. i was also expecting to get hung up on the front and back of my belly but i havint yet. before to long i am going to redo my belly to get me a little more ground clearance, and make it less likely to hang on anything. also when i do hit my belly on stuff which is all the time, i have been able to get my self of it with out much work. usually it just takes a hard bump and i can get up must things i hit it on.

Is that something you would recommend?? Sounds like it could be handy once you know how to work it. Or does the same phenomenon cause issues in other situations?

If you are boxed in,as in down in a hole,you need to pay attention.The amount of A.S. the front is making,when the trans. is in reverse is substantial so if the rear tires or rear of chassis are pinned up against something( like in a box) you are making a ton of down force/traction with the front tires and now your probability of breaking parts go's up a mile.Other than that specific scenario................hammer down!!
