well it can be as short as you want, I could have the rod almost flush with the bumper, just as long as it is easily reachable from the rearmost part of the car. If it was that short and I drug it on the ground my rear bumper would be damaged as well. I'm thinking about shortening it some just for looks, but my car doesnt pull the wheels it just goes at least for now. Once I get the new setup together it might be a different story, but I really don't want it pulling the wheels much. A little daylight under the fronts might be ok, but I dont want anything big...thats just a waste of energy.
