    120 ride height, what is it?

    Fiddling around with the motor mainly trying to clean years of red dust off it noticed it was a bit of a PITA mainly due to the height of the bodywork figured it was the nature of the beast. I was looking at a TD5 extreme in a carpark today which looks a lot lower is this simply the wheels tyres of the extreme vs the 120's. The TD5 did have a winch and bull bar on it so may not have had the suspension sorted afterwards I'll probably be up for a new set of shocks so it would be nice to work out what I actually have. So from the ground to the bottom lip of the flare lining up with the front hub measures about 880mm or so any clues what a stocker measures?

    Or if no one has a stock one can you measure and tell us what lift you are running and tyres/wheels and I can work it out from there.

    It should be the same as every standard Isuzu County at front. Mine has been lifted an amount i'm not 100% sure on so can't really help.

    The TD5 should be the same? might be time to start trolling a carpark with a tape measure.

    Not so sure about TD5s, as the Isuzu 110s and 120s had heavier duty springs at the front from standard. The Isuzu weighs a whole lot more than a TD5. There is also a bump stop spacer on Isuzu landies that TDI and TD5 Landies don't have from factory, so if you were to go by bump stop spacing you need to factor that in.

    Due to the differences in wheels and tyres, wouldn't the measurement from hub centre to top of front guards be better?

    I did think of different tyres but I'll run with hub centre measurement because that cuts out a whole lot of tricky maths which is approx 540mm.

    Tracked down a TD5 locally took a measurement came in at around 480mm looking like we have a 50mm lift me thinks, almost got the old beast to fire today, still chasing air out the the injector pump currently.

    Not sure where you want it measured from and too. I have a 120 isuzu happy to check measurements its a pretty standard unmolested beast. Let us know and I will see what I can do on the weekend.

    Cheers if you could measure from the centre of the hub to the bottom lip of the wheel flare vertically from the hub it would be greatly appreciated.
