    D2a Body height - mudguard to wheel centres - no ACE

    I must have had a man look because I could not find the info in RAVE or in the Owners Manual/s.
    Looking for the standard suspensoion (no ACE) measurement between bottom of mudguard and axle/wheel centre for both front and rear on a D2a. Help please?

    Unfortunately that measurement is not stated in RAVE, and as long as too few of us are using LR calibration blocks to set up the SLS height you might get different answers... the only certain official info is at the Rear suspension-SLS chapter, but that's a bit unconfortable to measure:

    DII not 'a'

    My DII is 500mm, centre of hub to wheel arch.

    I happened to measure it while setting up for a winch and wondering what drop the winch would make.

    RAVE doesn't differentiate between D2 and D2a in this section, unlike in the engine data section.

    That data is same as LR workshop manual.
    From memory my coiler was slightly higher after i fitted King standard springs all around,with steel bar.

    The fronts on d2's like to sag even with no bar and or winch on the front.

    The vast majority were delivered at the lowest end of the ride height specification from RAVE.

    Just to clarify, RAVE states hub to guard measurements of:

    Front: 500mm +/-15mm
    Rear Coil: 483mm +/-15mm
    Rear Air: 473mm +/-15mm

    When we were specing up suspension years ago, we measured a heap of new Disco2's and all of the ones measured with the exception of 1, they all measured at the bottom of the specification range for both front and rear.
    Cheers
