[QUOTE=YeahPete;347277If you raise the height you should add a belly pan, a front air dam, and direct a bit more air under the vehicle. This may actually reduce drag depending on the space between ground and bottom of vehicle.[/QUOTE]

I was wondering the same thing! having more space under the van might reduce turbulence? Right now the rear axle is just lower then the rest of the underbody. giving more space could allow a smoother bellypan and better attached flow? It might allow me to address the rear axle separately from the van. Maybe a small airfoil built around the axle?
