How to determine if I have a lift
My 90 Puma has has Yellow springs on since I've had it. I'm the second owner. I'm assuming that it will be lifted or atleast I know that they're not standard. Is there a simple way of measuring with out taking anything apart and if so what would be the measurements be? Thumbs Up

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

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
