Where exactly do we measure from.
My Chim was bottoming out a lot last week with a boot full of stuff.

The boot has been emptied apart from the essentials and ive just measured from ground to corners of outriggers,
Rear = 135mm
Front = 140mm

I guess the rear of my car must have 'settled' some since the geo set up last Summer.

I am on Nitrons and have my C spanner at the ready.

Recommendations?

from memory on my griff I always used to have the rear 12 to 15mm higher than the front, can`t remember the measurements, but 2 fingers between top of tyre and wheelarch should be plenty.(depends on how hard/soft you like it)

I asked the same question a while back;

Ride Height and chasis travel

I am about 25mm lower than 'standard' on the cheap protechs.
Of all the people on here, I probably shouldn't have to ask this of you biggrin, but did you up the tyre pressure when you loaded up?
Makes a huge difference to mine if the pressure is changed by 2psi.
