Your first pic shows cake, I want a piece of cake. Did the cake come with the chassis, if not some might think you got ripped off.

Seriously though, looks good. It looks like you have it setup with the longest WB possible, what is the wheel base and what shocks are you using?

For that style chassis I would say 4" is pretty good, I had mine set at about that and I was very pleased with the results.
If you have alot of really steep stuff to climb 3.5" would climb better but get hung up on the jumbled stuff more.
