I did a partial tummy tuck with my 4 link. I build a new trans crossmember that raised it up almost 2". My 4 link crossmember hangs down 1" below frame rail in the middle to help give more link separation (had to cut into body for upper mounts). It's not a true flat belly, but is several inches higher than factory.
Old vs new crossmember.

I had to build a custom fuel cell for this setup, and remade almost every frame crossmember.

yup if i had felt like going thru the body hassle and trying to get my upper mounts at good separation i would have went flat belly but as im sure you saw its a big hassle i said screw it and chose not to, you meeting in the middle im sure was still a big pain. i debated it pretty hard but in the end said screw all that..
