Default Ground Clearence...

For those who are running 35"s, how much ground clearence you got measuring from the bottom of the unibody to the ground back around your transfer case/belly pan?. Im gonna be running my 35" boggers, i want to keep as much COG as possible but want plenty of ground clearence and too up travel on all 4 corners. With as much trimming ive got done on my fenders im thinkin even though ive got 35"s, 5" to 6" tops on lift will be plenty. Also pictures of your XJ's on 35" will help also .

when i had 3" and 36's, i know its not the exact setup, but you can use a tape measure and math if you need exact numbers

approach: 65*
departure: 48*
breakover: 29*

ground clearance:

rockers: 22"
belly pan: 17.5"
front axle 11.5"
rear axle 10"

heres a couple pics with 4" and 35's

had about 20" at the belly then with the tummy tuck

I feel as though I've seen your Jeep in person.

Did you pull some amazing RTI numbers at the Jeep Rally in CT this past September?
