Suspension Lift measurements - Recap

[berniebgf Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close berniebgf]

Hi All,

Since my suspension has been on for a while with all the front weight (Bull Bar, Winch, batteries), thought it might be a good idea's to share lift height against other setup's to see where we all fit in. Maybe even give some idea's for brand changes....

Note: **Work in Progress**

Measurement: From bottom of rim (because it looks better with the numbers) to top of the wheel arch. (Maybe??)

Height before Mod's:
Not Available


Height after Mod's:
Suspension/Rim: 2" IronMan lift, 17"
Accessories: TJM Bull Bar, ARB Winch, Dual Batteries

Outcome:
Front: TBC
Rear TBC

Hopefully we can get some good comparisons in here..

Bernie.

where do you take the measurement from?

[berniebgf Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close berniebgf]

Yeah, would help...

Measurement: From the ground to the top of the wheel arch.

The easiest way to compare suspension measurements from one car to another is to measure from the bottom of rim (need to state which rim) to the top of the wheel arch. Not everyone will run the same type of tyres at the same pressure.
Also, it would be useful to post what the suspension height is when standard/straight from the dealer with no mods (perhaps state the amount of fuel in the tanks) so that you have a baseline to start with.

Good point on the fuel weight as it would have an impact.
Also brain kicked in regarding measuring from ground...air pressure of tyre..

Maybe from the centre cap to account for the different rim sizes would be to G.O.

Unfortunately I do not have my standard measurements, but would be useful to know.

Its hard to ocate teh exact centre of the wheel, thats why most people here measure from the bottom of the rim, in the 120 series with all cars having 17" rims it is pretty consitant.

If you go with the centre measurement I would still measure from the bottom of the rim and then subtract half the diameter of the rim, that will give you a consistant and accurate measurement regardless of the rim size.

True AJ120, Bottom of Rim looks to be the go, exact level ground for all 4 plays a bit part as well..
