Title: Standard height?
Post by: defenderdan on September 24, 2006, 08:46:49: This has probably been done before but i can't find it so here we go. Could some kind soul take a couple of measurements for me please. I need the measurement between the centre of the axle straight up to the bottom edge of the wheelarch (the first bit of bodywork that you come to) if that makes sense. This should give the height of the suspension regardless of tyres. The vehicle needs to have no lift and the springs need to be in good health. I need front and rear.
I am trying to find out what a standard vehicle should be so i know what i have got and therefore what needs doing for huge boots 8)

Thanks in advance

I'd agree with hobbit, have a read of the sales blurb, and if that doesn't give it away, head for a pub meet and compare yours to others :wink:
