It's not just you LOL. Year after year i've pushed ground clearance up. As it sits now unloaded, it's 16" up front and 17" at the rear, I'm shooting for 2 to 4 inches of sag.

Cage trim and rework is on the list. while its new tubing from a couple years ago, it roughly follows the old Yerf profile.
Front hoop is getting dropped by about 3 inches, Top arch-over will be eliminated for a flat angle-down-to-front profile. Where that meets in the pic below (red line) will be the top hoop corner.
The doors are getting replaced with a run from the rear shock mounts that will be paneled in like the rest. Haven't decided to parallel the front or rear angle (yellow is front) rear not shown would follow the rear lines. to the same point on the lower framework. i think what's shown will be stronger. inside of the front hoop will have diagonal tubes from center up to the new junctions.

rough sketchy ...
