It looks to me like the limit to ground clearance will be the area between the middle and outer wheels and not the area between the middle wheels. There no need in having the middle have way more clearance. It just weakens things and makes it more difficult to run chains, plus raises the area where you can mount electronics, thus raising the center of gravity of the whole thing.
I'll have to change it tomorrow, haha, been spending too much time with CAD instead of studying for APs. The height for right now was just set to make the GDC and their 2010 bumper rules happy.

Thanks for the suggestions and changes everyone.
