Ride Height ?

[UnfrozenCaveman]

Well, after owning the '97SW since 2002 I managed to notice that the front end is sitting higher than the back.

Measured from the ground, through the centerline of the wheel, it's 35 1/2" to the black eyebrow in the front and 34" at the rear.

This thing came to us with an LR winch bumper & "A" bar, but no winch. Seems likely that the front springs have been replaced at some point.

Yes, I need to look and see if they're paint stripe marked.

Hey, it's "the bosses" car, not mine,

So, on the the actual question ... I've looked for ride height dimensions without success ... any guidance in my quest?

I've got the o.e. springs from the long gone Disco sitting in the corner ... I'm tempted to pop them in and see how it sits / rides then.

...give me a 110 for ride quality any day ... apparently we "need" an automatic transmission vehicle at the house for some reason

Just be aware the eyebrows do not mount at equal distance to the belt-line of the truck. The rear is further away (lower on the truck).
When the belt-line is level, the eyebrows will be at unequal heights relative to the ground, and the truck appears to be squatting in the rear. When the truck has the typical rake (to accommodate load carrying capacity and compliant suspension) like many standard SUVs/pickups, the eyebrows will be at or close to equal heights relative to the ground.

Disco rear springs in the front of a D90s offer ~1in of lift. They are actually the same springs as on the front of a NAS110. Disco front springs will slam the front of a defender to the ground.

Blast, I guess actual homework is in order. Thanks guys.
