Thats what I thought but looking at all the owner profiles you see 4" b/d everywhere. Im guessing this is do to no z? How much of a z is needed? How much work needs to be done to the motor after the z to keep it under the hood/doghouse?

no work really.the dog house is huge and u clear the hood by plenty.like daniel said(supravan) notch is 2 1/2 maybe more depending on  wheels size.u will have to do a small tranny tunnel and pie cut and raise the tranny hump just a lil bit.where people are getting 4 inch body drop i will never know.i couldnt imagine safely zing more than 2 3/4 possible 3 inches.if im correct 3 is bottom to top touchin 1 another
