Default Vehicle height to top of roof rails

Does anyone know the height to the top of roof rails under each of the air suspension settings. I am purchasing a 2023 defender 110 and this would be quite useful.

The numbers I keep seeing online for height in air suspension setting is 77.4-77.5 inches. I believe this is measured to the satellite antenna, which is the tallest point. The height to the roof rails should be just a little shorter. Access height should be about 2" lower and off-road height should be about 3" higher.

I was looking at heights when I was considering adding an expedition rack to see if it would fit in the parking garages I use regularly.

Pretty sure access height only lowers 1.6" and obviously air suspension is necessary.

Thanks guys, I have tall ceilings 14 1/2 ft in my garage and have a 4 post lift installed so that I can park my Shelby GT 350 above during winter so the clearance under my lift when it is setting in the upper locks is 80”. So as long as I don’t come in with the suspension in the off road position I’m OK….otherwise I will have the first convertible..Ha Ha

I believe you are correct. It looks like access height is about 40mm lower and off-road height is about 75mm higher.

110 X-Dynamic with 20" wheels.

76" to the top of the fin in squat mode which is probably 2" higher than the rails.

You would need to allow an inch or so for any hops the vehicle would make as it clears the transition from the driveway to the garage floor.

Yep, I measured my 110 to the top of the antenna, in access mode (which you can lock it into when needed) = 192-193cm / 76"

The vehicle also shows you on the display screen the exact height at the different levels - it appears to be quite accurate.
