Default belly ground clearance?

all you guys with supers, whats the typical hight that youre getting on your belly pan? this is for normal 4 link style rigs... i know sticks and canes will be higher of course.

thanks guys!

I got my rig sitting at 4 5/8in and it seems to do pretty good. I wanna make taller tires that will get me to about 5in

My wheelbase is 20in

At that WB I would try for a 4 3/4 or so wheelbase if you are running a traditional sprung rid maybe a little lower if droop/

On my Hustler, I've got one soda can's worth of belly ground clearance, but this is a droop style chassis and the Moabs are pretty tall tires.
