Ok, here are the specs.



Gratuitous picture because it makes me smile.





From the garage floor to the center of the jack point hole it is right at 40.5 inches. That is when I am using the shortest of the lift pads for the lift. The lift comes with two sets of pads and a set of extension tubes. If you had a taller vehicle like a pickup the taller pads would be more useful.



As you can see this would add 7.5 inches to the lift if I had some need to go higher. I can't get the car much higher without smashing the roof into the garage door opener motor.



This is the short pad I was using. It is sitting on the ledge under the torsion tube in the rear. You can see I will never win a concours, my suspension and inside the fenders are dirty. That happens when I drive it in the real world with rain. I try to avoid rain but on any long road trip, rain is possible and likely. After 151,000 miles there is dirt on my suspension. The bolts on the suspension have marks from the wrenches used to take the suspension apart and replace all the bushings.

At parade you will see cars like mine with suspension that is pristine and perfect looking. The inside of the fenders are as clean as the outside. I can appreciate the work involved to clean it but I really think it should be driven.
