    Standard Height of Defender Suspension

    Ok my def is 6 years old, still on standard suspension and I am getting sick of sierras looking down at me... I think its getting to sag down!

    So what is the standard ride height from Centre of hub to guard ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Cam

    Can go and measure the front but the rear will be different as the Ute has no rear weight

    How about 500mm from the bottom lip of the plastic eyebrow to the hub centre all round .... give or take a couple of mils ..

    2003 Fender .. OEM springs at rear, replacement Kings at front, but only to counter effect of bar and winch and bring back to std.

    Cheers

    Clearance between rubber bump buffer and its stop.

    I got 460 (pass) on one side, and 490 (Driver) on the other, but its parked on a slight slant, so I will fix it tomorrow, and test again.

    I have a ARB winch bar on the front as well... back I have not bothered...

    Tested this from the middle of the hub to the bottom of the rubber guard.
