Stan,
Here you go
Prado 12/06 Grande

Front Standard: 700mm.
Rear Low setting 740mm
Rear Medium/ Normal 765mm
Rear High setting 810mm

Accessories: ARB Steel bar, Magnum Winch, 2x IPF 900XS lights, snorkel, dual battery and Outback draws

Gez it makes a difference when you add steel bar, winch and DB system.
45mm that is alot of ground clearance.

Thanks for reminding me Stan, dropped them to 6.5psi this arvo, heaps nicer ride !! :P

Now you got to measure them again Matt, to see what the rear height is :lol:.

I measured my rear :shock: (can I say that?) and it was the same height at 5 psi and 10 psi unloaded...

Average rear measurements

lifted with airbag = 835mm, 15PSI,70L fuel. (ATS Ridepro).

Matt,

Are you running 15 psi in airbags all the time? I found it to be a way to stiff and run them at 5 psi when car is empty...

[Chippy]

Average front measurements

standard with alloy bar= 728 mm(with bash plate and dual battery)

Average rear measurements

standard with Polyairs = 778 mm (5 psi and 70 L fuel)

Hi All,

This is prety much a copy of Jeff's post about suspension measurements (http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=1056), however it is using a different way to measure the suspension lift. Theoretically is it should be a more precise way of measuring but it will only work if you have standard toyota 17" rims.. For other rims the figures would be different...

The measurement used here is: from bottom edge of rim where it meets tyre to edge of fender


So can I ask you to get out the tape measure and post your results?

:arrow: Standard, mm
:arrow: standard with accessories. and what they are. (e.g bar only) mm
:arrow: lift in inches but no accessories. mm
:arrow: Lift with accessories and what they are.(e.g bar, dual batteries and winch) mm

And for all the guys who recently had or are going to get suspension lifts, this is probably a good thing to check and record for your own benefits.

I will keep a tally and edit it in to this first post, see below.
