I agree, Best I could find on the web site was, no more than 1/3 on bump stop, but this was lowing or lifting, nothing on springs.
My mech told me 100mm all up either tyres, and body lift up to 50mm and suspension, but only 2 off these not all 3.
With my rangie I have 30mm body, gone up to 31.5 tyres, soon 32 simex, which are actually 33.4", and I'm guessing 40mm on pedder springs.
The over all height of the rangie will be just on 100mm over orginal height, with Simex.
So I think I'm right, cause thats as far as I'm going. I'm just going to fit a grader blade to the front or better still a PTO rotary hoe to take the tops off between the ruts. Then I won't need 36"boggers.

which is also interesting when you work out, are they measuring the lift with a tape, so your sagged 8 inch lifted gear which has sagged to 2inch will pass?With my rangie I have 30mm body, gone up to 31.5 tyres, soon 32 simex, which are actually 33.4", and I'm guessing 40mm on pedder springs.
