Thread: HELP! Anyone raised a PUMA? Big TROUBLE!!!

Here are my Puma 110 figures. I have 130' s Front, and STD rears with Polyairs fitted.
615
450
525
685
The axle to guard clearance is at the high end of those reported (similar to Drover), however the difference in height of flange centres (front diff & T/Case) is moderate...75mm for mine (cf 144mm for Drover).

I wonder if the engine mounting heights vary a lot to cause such a difference in T/cae pinion heights??

Some of these numbers don't make much sense. I think there is some confusion on what is being measured to on the wheel centre to arch clearance. Are some people measuring to the lip of the wheel arch (I am) and some measuring to wherethe arch actually meets the metal wing skin?

I measured flare tip to hub centre @ 520.

No mistake...615mm from the axle centre to the guard edge (where the flare meets the lowest point of the guard). I had to recheck it myself, in case my glasses were fogged up or something.

Mine is pretty perky in the front with the 130's...no winch, just ARB bar. The rear springs are a bit tired and saggy, and Polyairs might be a bit low with cooler weather, so if sagging rear and perky front, this might explain it.

I still think there is some confusion. that would be a huge lift (5"+) it it was 615 to the same place that everyone else has measured too.

All the other measurements on the other cars are to the bottom of the outer lip (widest point) of the arch.

is that really where yours was too? The mounting face on the arch lip is about 90mm higher up.

My measurement is vertically above the axle centre to the lowest point of the fender panel...directly where the flare meets the aluminium panel. Is that right or have i misunderstood something (it happens)?

Just for comparison the gap between the top of the tyre and the flare above is approx 135mm. What is yours, Pete?

mines a 3" lift and just did the center of axle to out side flear and it was 581mm,

its just a LR bar, no winch,

jsut a thought, that last post, if you measured that, that would take into account tyre size, and since every one is different it has to be center of axle and then u can have 37s or 29s and the measurements are comparable??
