Default Fitting hard jeep JK body, thoughts on my WB

I'm working on getting a hard body jeep JK fitted to my element chassis. I'm having a hard time making up my mind on the wheelbase and how to let the body sit relative to the frame and axles. I shortened up some extra links I had for the rear and this is the frame I had under the "terrible Taco" so the nose of the frame I higher than a stock element. I will also be picking up some shorter shocks than my PL slash fronts. Where the pics show the truck sitting the shocks are at full bump so I obviously want them shorter (or raise the upper mount). Any how. Your thoughts on how it's sitting?

I think it looks good! Thanks for sharing! I love the beadlock wheels.

I think it looks good. I'm sure if the chassis was a tad shorter you could really line up the front wheels with the fenders. Otherwise I think it looks good.

Thanks guys. I needed a little more motivation to get this done. Figuring out a bumper and body mounting is next.
