Who's running 115 to 117 inch wheel base

Mine is 116 with 24 under the frame with 42's. I love it, the turning radius is the main downfall. Rear steer is the answer. Most scrapes are on the rockers so I think boatsided would also alleviate some LCG issues. Looking good man

I'm 116 with 27 to belly and 71 over all on 54s and loved it for Moab but a little big for St. George, the nasty trails we ran down there are tight, the only place I really want more is rocker knocker, 116 just don't catch there for me got to hit it hard.

I've only been there once did nasty half and chain reaction. My 112 wb and 18ish belly really liked it
it now I'm longer , taller, and a lot wider.. Your rig is sweet it's crazy how low you got it .. How much up travel do you have

Haha I'd be happy to run into something mine can't climb.l that would mean it was running
 
Mine is 111" wheelbase. 21" belly pan. 6'5" height. 42" Iroks. 5" uptravel in front. 6" in rear.

So that is shorter than what you asked about, but it used to be 105" wheelbase so I can provide a direct comparison of what 6" did for my rig.

It helps with the steepest climbs. I get scared way before the rig is unstable. Before, I got scared when the front became loose and walked side-to-side.

It hurts a lot with breakover angle. There is 1 vertical ledge in Idaho (Falling Rock trail) with a 90 deg lip that the rig can not climb because the belly pan hangs hard on the lip. It climbed the ledge (in the rain) before. I notice the pan drags over a lot of things and gets beat up. Before, the pan stayed gouge-free.

It hurts somewhat in the boulders. I have to work it a little more to a lot more occasionally.

It doesn't appear to effect the turning ability.

The rig seems ideal at 111" with no need to be longer or to need bigger tires. If I just ran the Idaho trails (similar to your Coyote Canyon), I would shorten it back closer to 105".
 
I have about 5 in exposed on my 18 shocks for up travel I'm thinking about moving my mounts to get a little different ride but don't really think ill go any higher.
 
Yep mine is really all tire I wish I had more pics to post but its tough to drive and take pics. If your up to go do some wheeling around the price area let me know the snow is melting, the trails should be all new again.
