Measuring Suspension Lift
Wanderer:
Don't forget they'll differ if it hasn't got the standard tyres on.
You'll need to add half or take off half the diameter of the extra on the tyres.
IE A 2" lift with tyres that are 2" larger in diameter isn't a 4" lift but a 3" lift.
I never add the extra on the tyres when I measure the lift. I measure centre of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch before and after.
TimM:
Before I fitted my lift I measured from the floor to the highest point on the front wheelarch (the top of the curve) which I'm sure was 32", at the time it had 235/70x16 tyres.
Wanderer:
32" it must have been a bit "tired" Tim. Aren't they usually around 33-34" ?
bambamjj:
Mine was 32" before lift as well. whne i fitted 2" lift it gained about 3.5 - 4" in total
Wanderer:
In reality though it's only a 2" lift due to the tired springs.
Fitting brand new standard springs can give at least 1" of lift.
Otherwise I've got a 6" lift on mine :)
