110 standard height
Anyone know what the standard height of a 110 puma to the wheel arches. Wondering if the vehicle I have bought is already raised as seems high even for a tall guy like me.

This information is readily available online. Note however that there are different rear spring setup giving a different ride height aft for the 110 (commercial, pickup, Country SW)

Also you want to check your tire size, someone might have put on bigger ones.

Brill cheers. I have read though that different 110 models have different set heights I guess due to weight differences of pickup, dcpu etc

The DCPU always has a bum-in-the-air stance due to having springing for a 1-tonne payload. It's a choppy ride when empty!

That makes sense. Is there any way of identifying if HD springs have been used? Like diameter of the coiled metal or more turns per height?

I took a cm ruler to double-check the spacing on mine and found it was just a few millimetres off too — turns out the holes weren’t aligned perfectly from the factory. Loosened everything, got it all square, then tightened bit by bit while checking with the cm ruler again. Much better fit now without forcing anything.
