    Travis,

    I believe that my 02 D2 V8 is 1.98m standard.

    Flip down the drivers sun shade, there should be a sticker on there with the heights (it is a warning sticker I believe)

    I cant check mine as it is at the panel beaters right now.

    To answer Pedro's question, my V8 D2's height on stock suspension and 16" wheels on coils is the same as CJTs air suspension D2.

    Travis I haven't used the tank you quoted, but I have the LongRanger tanks (165 litres) and find that system really useful, especially with the van on the back.

    I have the LRA long range tank under my TD5 D2, I only went for the main tank which is 110lts, the sub tank is 45lts, I have cut my rear panels so I couldn't fit the sub tank or it would have looked rediculous, it would of hung down about 6" below where the panel were shortened too.

    Anyway it has been good so far, it sits up nice and high, you wouldn't know I had a bigger tank, very pleased with the result.

    Good value too.
