A few years back I was working for the company that built the structure (the shell) for that Jelly Belly plant in Pleasant Prairie. They have an outlet store in it. When it became operational and our truck drivers were in the area on another job they would stop in and buy bags of jelly beans for us back at the office. They would buy the bags of "rejects", which are out-of-tolerance beans do to shape. The name of these reject beans you ask? "Belly Flops". Measured the Javelin last night. It sits at 11" off the ground at both the front and rear end of the rocker panels (so basically level standing still). 27" from ground to the chrome on the front wheel well. Tires are P225 70 R14 both front and rear. Thanks to all for the great information regarding lowering the front end. The plate solution looks good, and looks like a good winter project.
