STANDARD SUSPENSION HEIGHT - GQ/MAV

I apoligise in advance if this information is already posted. I couldn't find it.

What I need to know is the standard height (bumpstop to bumpstop) for a GQ/MAV suspension. I want to maximise any suspension mods within the legal restrictions of QLD Transport and I've read (quote below) that I can increase the standard travel by 1/3 it's original distance.

The guidelines do not specify any maximum suspension lift, apart from 1/3 of the original bumpstop height. and actually if you read it, it says 'the suspension travel in the bump or rebound mode must not be altered by more than 1/3 of that specified by the manufacturer'.... and no heating or welding of steering components or axles etc.


(Quote of "HeathGQ" from thread "NRMA say they will insure body lifts").

I cannot find anything in my manual and Nissan haven't been helpful.

Regards MEX :D

About 60mm bump stop front, 80 rear.

measure bottom of rim to flare, but I don't know whether you have flares.
Approx Standard measurements:
Front: 235-245mm
Rear: 335-345mm
