It helps when I've got a high pinion front diff and triple transfer cases

Technically it's not a perfect flat belly but it is close. My front driveline is 1.5-inches longer than my rear so I've rubbed it a few times (but they are also interchangeable!). So it's built with a 0.210" tubing

I'm also supporting my drivetrain from the sides rather than underneath which picked up a good, what, 3 or 4 inches of ground clearance? (t/case mounts + BudBuilt takes up space!)
