Default Disco Mike Needs Suspension Information Help

Does any one own a D2 running 265/75/16's that has OME 762 rear springs? If so could you measure the height of the rear lift from the ground thru the center of the wheel to the lower wheel well molding and get back to me.
Thanks

Not sure if this is Some of the information you needed, but I measured the Center of the Wheel to the bottom of the arch and it is 20.25".

However I have 285/75 r16 tires so I could not measure the center of the wheel to the ground because my tires are different. I do have 762 OME springs.

If you get a chance could you measure from the ground to the wheel well molding, I can adjust for the 285 size tire.
Thanks

I've got the RTE HD springs front and rear with 265/75/16 mud tires. The distance on my 2002 D2 is exactly 36 inches.

Mike,
I just put brand new BFG 265/75/16 on mine and i have the OME 762's. Mine sits at exactly 37". I have them inflated at 42 PSI. Reminds me of a question: They say max PSI is 80. What would you recommend for highway use?
