I would get it to around 23"-24" belly. If you look at that blue jeep that yank posted the picture of, that's where it sat at

Mine sits at around a 24" belly on 40's and it's a pain to climb in and out for a fat guy like me, I'd have to get a ladder for 38". I know it will have a lot of weight down low with the rocks, but I think it will still feel really bad on any side hills

Yea once I got the dash and **** out it was amazing how much room I had. He'll keep it up. I wouldnt give a dam if the belly was 50" as long as I was abLe to ride. I'd work on springs and **** when not riding. But I'm impatient as hell. Movin a lot faster than I would have guessed. Earlier I Was Thinkin that a build thread like this was some motivation to keep on it when building something. ( Random as hell I know..).

Cut some of the curls off of the coils. That's how this one was. Think they was jeep xj coils cut down.

 

[417chevy]

Yeah but I have full size ford front lift coils in the back right now so they are stiff as hell

The jeep coils work great. Very soft and very flexy.

 

[417chevy]

Got my belly height down to 30"

30" is good to go. Get the drivetrain mounted and it'll be fine.

I'd suggest putting limit staraps/chains on the suspension, it'll keep your shocks and springs from breaking from the weight of rockwels swinging off them.

Do you think I should put them on the front as well or will that be fine? I feel it would be fine but just asking ahead of time

I wouldn't think you would need them in the front with leaf springs.

 

[Eddyj]

Depends if your going to have shocks on the front. You don't want those stopping your axle from dropping.
