I have measured 2 different rear and 3 different front air struts off the LR3. Unsurprisingly not one measurement is within 1 cm in any position on ANY of the measurements. Does anyone know the official stock Land Rover or Arnott strut (Air or Coil) lengths and travel (or stroke) specs?
Currently I have
Front: Extended: 600-580mm Compressed: 425-440mm
Rear: Extended: 600mm Compressed: 420-400mm
Any references would be much appreciated

 

Irrelevant since they compress and extend further than what the actual suspension architecture allows.

 

Unless of course you are designing a new strut and don't want to overshoot the original limits by too much and exceed what the inboard tri lobes and steering rack angles.

 

Well it helps to include that info if you want real answers. Good luck.

 

@DakotaTravler Sorry for not including the information before and truly I meant no disrespect with my response. I have a propensity to give WAAAAAAY more about what the end result would be than anyone would ever want to know.

In practice it appears that my newer Arnott rear bags have a bottom out limiter of some sort in the stroke that is different than the factory bag. I talked to Arnott about it and they weren't aware or maybe willing to disclose such a mechanism. In reality it keeps the tire from stuffing deeper into the fenderwell reducing rubbing if the bag deflates.

My concern is pushing the CVs beyond their limits so I'd like to target factory lengths and strokes to keep the system from needing limiting or mechanical straps or stops.

Again, anyone that has seen or knows of any information that may help stay within these limits would be very helpful.

For anyone interested I've been scanning and cad'ing out all the suspension, frame, interior and exterior of the rover:
