I can get those for you tomorrow mate.

Don't know how mine will compare to new stock, as I've only just bought it and don't know how much it's sagged. Doesn't look too bad, so should at least give you an idea.

Measured a few bits for the sake of comparison when the TD/OME stuff goes in:

NB - there was a winch, compressor, and front steel diff in the boot at the time these measurements were taken, so the rear was sitting around 25mm low.

From top of wheel arch to ground:
Front Drivers - 765mm
Front Passenger - 765mm
Rear Drivers - 740mm
Rear Passenger - 735mm

From top of wheel arch to top of tyre (stock size):
FD - 120mm
FP - 120mm
RD - 85mm
RP - 95mm

Max droop (top of wheel arch to top of tyre):
FD - 195mm = 75mm down travel
FP - 195mm
RD - 185mm = 100mm down travel
RP -

Ground clearance:
Front bumper - 330mm
Sills - 250mm
Rear bar (towbar) - 320mm

Didn't get a chassis clearance - where exactly do you want the measurement - main rails, cross members,

Vitara people must be way different to sierra people, anyone remember the same topic on sierra's a while back? it turned into a pencil comp with the tallest truck thinking he was the winner :finger:
