Typically the front air dam should extend no lower than the lowest part of your under-body (example, exhause pipes or lower control arms). if you go any lower than the lowest part of your underbody, you are increasing frontal area.

If you want to build an airdam with an underbelly....then make your airdam as low as the lowest part of the underbody....then make your underbelly extend backwards from the bottom of your airdam.
