Series ride heights

Does anybody know what the original ride height is for a Series 2a? Chassis preferably as the hub to guards are hard when there are no rear guards. :lol: I'm setting up the suspension now, and would like to work it to the letter of the new ADR guidelines as best as possible.

TIA

Don't know offhand - don't have my series manual in front of me. I think it is about 2-3" between bump stop and axle.

What I do know for sure is that LR had a 1" tolerance either side of the ride height during series production. There was a bulletin sent to dealers in the late 70's in OZ that said too many dealers were replacing springs under warranty that were later found to be within the 1" tolerance!!! :shock:
