Varies, depending on what your building and how stretched ya want it.
Long wheelbase does increase your scrubbing problems.  Remember the stretched presidential limo that got high centered in Ireland a few years back, had to get a push.

it will be 34 ford pick up . I also thought the longer wheel base gave you a little better ride ? I think I read that they were about 110 or 13 inches straight stock.
