chassis question

On mine I do that for a scale look. Sets the correct cab height, and wheel clearance, or to set the trans in the proper position.

Or to hide extra electronics, battery, etc.

Hopefully others will chime in as well,

Ive seen it on all types of builds from dumps to just standard cab setups, the dump setup I had figured was for clearance and mounting of hydros etc etc but the others are what I was unsure on.

Thanks for the input I had figured that the scale appearace was one reason I had not even thought about the trans mount heighth. I have seen quite a few this way especially when they are 6x6 I assume to bring cab height up to clear the axle and such??

Thanks again for your input guys any more is greatly appreciated as well
