Bump stop measurements are always subjective,as it depends where on the housing the measurement is taken,due to angle of the housingQuote:

OK... not to take away from the subject, but since this directly related here is another method (care of Gwyn Lewis' website) for measuring lift:
Front:
This is the way to measure your spring lift (suspension Height) you park your Land Rover on level ground and measure the rear part of the front spring like in the picture, a standard Defender measures 260mm, this 110 with OME 751s fitted measures 295mm as you can see on the picture, so this is a 35mm lift over standard, but the old springs on this 110 measured 240mm so it has gone up by 55mm from where it was, but the old springs had sunk by 20mm, this is the way i always measure spring heights as it gives a true reading.

Rear:
This is how you measure your suspension lift on the rear, park on level ground and measure the spring height as in the picture, i have fitted OME2755 springs on the rear, the measurement of the old ones where 320mm, it is now 355mm, a lift of 35mm to match the front.

Nick, what vehicle are you talking about?Quote:

As a note, I recently measured a brand new, in dealer yard 130CC with alloy tray, the front passenger BS gap was 100mm. I use a good quality, clearly marked steel rule and measure the front of housing BS pad and rear of same pad, while there is some variation there is not much. Just take the average. It is near impossible to take an accurate measure meant in the middle. Keep the rule straight and plumb, get your eye lever with the pad to remove error of parallax.
I would like to know what the standard disco height is for the above method.
^^^ me tooQuote:

Orders front lifted arms yesterday afternoon and ordered rear superior arms also stay tuned ;)
So when I went into Superior this afternoon to collect the Superflex arms I paid for the other day....
Oh your land rover mates may take you down to get these arms if you are seen, they are the last set and a quite a few Land Rover Owners have been calling for a set of these today.
Looks like us Rover boys have been finally biting the bullet.
Thanks for all the Hard work Greg. I look forward to the rears arms in a weeks time.
some one best contact me if this is the real deal! legit!!!Quote:
