Cool, Thanks guys! thats what i was looking for. Ive been looking at alot of pics and stock auto`s as well and 4-5" seems decent. Im not going for scraper on this one! i will have a full10-11" frame to ground clearance.

Bob, i am not doing the panel this time around! it is the 30 sedan im going forward with, while not as heavy as a 50`s cruiser i will have the family crammed in it, plus the random road trip with the wife I.E luggage, chairs, coolers etc! Thats why i decided on the higher frame too, i wanted more floor space inside.
