You need either a 3.5 foot lowering kit, or a 100% smooth belly pan and some way to get the tires out of the airstream. Tires have absolutely horrible aero drag, so I'd enclose them in Aptera-style fairings.

The DoD is interested in reducing the fuel consumption of the US military. Keep an eye on the ecomods being done to our fleet of off-road capable, overweight trucks.

Also, if you're driving >25mph in a Unimog, or using one for a family vacation, you're doing it wrong.
