You have at least a two inch lift.
Phone Gwyn Lewis, he will tell you what the correct dimensions are for standard, measured top spring seat, to bottom spring seat. The only proper way of telling. I think they are something like 250-260 mm front, 310-320 mm rear. I think. Andy |

 Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

As far as I can tell it doesn't have cranked radius arms or castor corrected panhard rods either.
The more I think about it, the more I think its a good idea to drop it back to Std height. I seriously doubt I shall ever do any serious offroading that requires such a lift. 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Can't get over how skinny your Discoverers look on 17" rims compared to mine on 16"s. Almost sporty

 Looks pretty high to me, this is our 90 with a 4" lift, before a roll cage though so probably sits a bit lower now. Click image to enlarge dsc00703 by .:ay4alex:., on Flickr I'd certainly say that it has potential to be 4". unless it's only ever used off road, better off dropping to standard if you don't want to run particularly chunky tires. otherwise a 2" would give a happy medium 110 Tdci Double Cab |

OK this is another effort at determining what lift you have, although not foolproof as I am unsure what I have
I scaled my roof length to the same as yours in the picture 70mm then measured from the wheel centre to the spat. They are quite similar at 17mm and 18mm so therefore you have a 1mm lift . And as said before at the rear from the floor to the top of the roof is a little over 2 metres.
