Mark was so kind to come by today and make me wish, yet again, that I had the Superlift. I was actually surprised to see how much of a difference there was between my OME HD+ (the + means additional lift on top of the OME HD springs) vs his Superlift.
So now I know... my planned Superlift+ will be significantly larger
Note our tire sizes aren't that much different. His were ~3/4" taller.
WOOOOOOWWWW!!!! I now know to not park next to a SL, Id be really pissed hahaha.. still looks good though MAtt

So with the difference in tires size means that he only has 3/4" more ground clearance than you?
Edit: I guess what I'm looking for is the difference in ground clearance between the two.

We've been down this road before. It's more than ground clearance, it's also suspension travel.
Yeah, as it sits he has
- 1" more breakover clearance (but hell, 1" is a bigger rock!)
- approx 3" more down travel
- flat suspension angles (saves CV's, steering rack, balljoints & tie rods)
- the ability to add 1" more lift and bigger tires as well if he chooses.
Next to an XK with a modified superlift running 34s, there'd be significant clearance advantages. Thats what i plan on running,
Yea i knew you are after suspension travel but I was jsut curious as to the ground clearance.Originally Posted by Matt

Yeah the breakover comparison as shown is only about an inch. But its still more than I was expecting.
Having a WK, you can squeeze some 35s in there with a superlift+ kit and destroy both of those XK's in the ground clearance department!
This is true. I want a superlift too BUT 3.07 gears don't like big tires, LOL. Maybe I can get around to installing those 3.73's and go big one day....Yeah the breakover comparison as shown is only about an inch. But its still more than I was expecting.

I think your XK would be killer on some 35's.
