You can measure the distance between axle and bump stops or between the tire rim edge to the plastic fenders and then compare with someone who has a 90". Puma 110" SW

If you measure vertically from the wheel centre to the edge of the wheelarch eyebrow, then it avoids variations in wheel or tyre sizes. However, as MK says, you'll need the same measurements from a known stock vehicle to compare with.
As a rule of thumb though, the height to the top of the roof at the rear should be around 2050 mm. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

Height from the centre of rear hub to roof gutter is 144cm. Now I just need someone with a 90 on standard springs to measure too. Anyone that can do this I would appreciate it

They do seem very good and flexable so softer than OE I would imagine. I have no idea what has been done with it in that respect because mine was dealer bought. Someone in Wales that had it from new and exchanged for a new Disco winter 2009
