NP205? um, no, Porterbuilt mild drop, trailing arms and coil overs, no transfer case, and no 4wd and not a dragger either. It'll be about 8 inches to the frame midway. The goal is to make it handle like a slot car. pushing the track width out by about 4 inches in the front and 6 inches in the rear then using the really deep back spacing on the wheels to narrow it back up. This puts the steering knuckle into the wheel with the goal of making it have fast steering without being twitchy and also being able to get a 12" wide section width 28" tall tire in the wells by reducing the back and forth of tire movement.
