Ive tried searching but I'm on my phone and I've tried google,

My 90 has 265/75/16 tyres with a 2" lift, does anyone know the break over angle?

You could always measure it. LOL.

I thought it was called break over angle as well. I take it you mean the angle between F & R wheels and lowest point on underside in the middle between the axles.

doesnt say in the handbook.

I believe a standard 90's breakover angle is 34 degrees.

I managed to find the standard angle but mines lifted with bigger tyres so want to know what it is now

standard looks to be "140 to 145 ish", as you got bigger tyres and a lift it is gonna be less of an angle, If I get bored tomorrow I might go and measure mine. But I have 285's ,LOL.

If I knew how to I would, I carnt measure it as the 90 ain't here,

I imagine there's a formula for it

Haha I don't know the distance from my chassis to floor

Add 2" to the standard and you'll have a ball park figure

OK,

looked at wiki, I always thought breakover angle was the angle available under the chassis between the wheels. this is not what wiki shows, I understood it was ( 180 degrees - B degrees. )

anyway this formula is only approximate as it does nto take into account the fact the tyre contact with the ground will not be perpendicular to the chassis line as shown , but it does err on the side of caution.

looking at mine with approx 460mm groundclearance under chassis at ctr between axles, tyre radius of 410mm, 92.9 inch wheel base and using the wiki calculation I get approx 42.6 degrees ( or as I prefer , 137.4 degrees inclusive ) breakover angle.

Cheers

right just worked mine out,

I get 134 degrees allowing for the shortened distance between the tyres due to tyre contact position with ground.

Blimey, my hangover is getting worse.

What a pointless thing to know! Are you going to get out and measure an obstacle before you try and drive over it?

Pointless, why?
