Lift Facts and Figures
I forgot I did this ages ago on another forum and these are just indicative sizes ok but it will maybe help out with some doing lifts
I worked the following out by using dimensions from the various manufacturers
1.75" Spacer = 3" lift
1.50" Spacer = 2.5" Lift
1.25" Spacer = 2" Lift
1.00" Spacer = 1.5" Lift
0.75" Spacer = 1" Lift
and then in Metric
42mm Spacer = 75mm Lift
36mm Spacer = 62mm Lift
32mm Spacer = 50mm Lift
25mm Spacer = 37mm Lift
18mm Spacer = 25mm Lift
thats using the rule that for every 1/4" of spacer thickness we get 1/2" of lift or 6mm spacer to get 12mm of lift
Now like I said its indicative so it will give people an idea of what to look for .
Now as to what the factory heights are
All vehicles have to register their dimensions with DOTARS and as such they ultimately govern our heights etc.
Nissan Australia registered that the Nissan Navara Dual Cab D40 4x2 has the following dimensions.
Front
Wheel center to guard eyebrow centre is 501mm
Rear
Wheel center to guard eyebrow centre is 536mm
And they also have minimums
Front 473mm
Rear 498
Now I cant see them making the 4x4 much different but those figures are a good place to start
