Suspension height,

Lightweightmatt · Nov 5, 2019

Hi,
Have just bought my first defender, after many series 2’s and 3’s. Where can I find the standard ride hight. I’m trying to work out whether it has had a 2 inch lift. It’s a 200 Tdi 90.
Thanks in advance.

Put some pics up first.

Hi Gmacz,
The side on one was before I had it when it was fitted with a truck cab.

I would say that was the standard height. I had the same thoughts when I first got my Defender.

Looks pretty standard to me. My profile piccy is standard height. I found new standard springs will be at least 1" higher than old, and bigger tyres will obviously lift things too.

Yep, I think it looks that way, which I’m glad that it’s standard. Thanks.

Not sure you'll find a ride height, too much variance over the years in terms of body, spec, springs and tyres.

Have a look here for details on the springs though:
