Sorry no idea, Arches are well trimmed. Can't measure as it's up on ramps with no tranny box as I am fitting a Rocklobster ;-)

All I can say is,its very high! +3" springs, 1.5" spring spacers, 2"bodylift, Have to use my rock sliders as side steps.
This link may help you ;-)

Currently 118cm door handle 134cm rear light as before, Just want to be sure i'm nearer the top.

Mumbo Jimbo wrote: 110cm to driver's door handle
131cm to top of n/s rear light cluster

ORA 4.5" Lift & 31" BFG's

Think that's as high as I'd want to go - if I go to 33"s later I'll need to do some serious arch cutting


no body lift and 30" tyres mines 122 to handle and 139 to rear lght
so its looks to be between 4-5 inch lift .......i think
