Hey all I am only new to this forum so sorry if I am double posting or not using the correct section, I have recently purchased a TD42 SWB Maverick, (I know it's a nissan not a ford) just wondering how I determine the height of the suspension lift it has in it (the previous owner was unsure) I am in the market for some Big 0 dropped radius arms but first need to confirm the lift height, do I simply park on a level surface with the same psi in all tyres and measure from the ground to the guard and compare to stock height ? what is stock height ? cheers for all info, any help greatly appreciated does it affect the measurement having 33"X12.5 tyres on there ??

If you can find the part numbers stamped/etched into the springs, then you could search google
