My chassis guy uses 4". Even though the minimum spec is 3" It makes it a lot harder to load / offload at that height and he says the difference in e.t. is nil. Not to mention high centering it on eneven ground.

Thanks guys for your replies. I guess I'll have more questions as the build progresses. Thanks again.

actaully spec is 3" front to 12" past front axle centerline and 2" minimum rest of car if I am not mistaken. I am at 3.25 front and just under 3 at motorplate. Make sure to allow for tires at race pressure.
