Height of XK w 4" superlift

[strokeZ]

Can anyone tell me the height of the XK with a 4" Superlift and 33" tires? Trying to figure out if it will still fit in my garage / work parking garage if I do this mod.

Thanks for any help.

It will stand about 3 inches taller then your current setup.

Correct if I'm wrong but I read somewhere the benefits of this lift was the way it was lifted not the actual inches it lifted it.

I think in terms of ground clearance you are correct SAl-XK. I am running essentially 32's and if I install 33's it only gives my ground clearance another 1/2 inch. The difference results in overall vehicle height which is what I am interested it for this question.

07JeepXK - that seems quite significant, but I am not surprised. I think that puts me right at the edge of my parking garage at work...hmmmmmmm.

Thanks guys for your comments! Much appreciated...

I dont think i totally understand what you mean by this.

Not exactly true. The tires alone will only net you about 1/2 inch of additional ground clearance so yes you are correct with that statement. However the actual suspension lift is going to give you a few more inches of ground clearance under the belly of the vehicle which matters the most when it comes to off roading. As the belly of the XK is rising due to the larger tires and bigger lift, so is the top of the XK. Basically the top of your Commander will sit approx. 3 inches taller then with your current lift provided your running 33 inch tires with the 4 inch superlift.

I agree with all that you have said. I know that Jeep and Toyota (for the FJ) quote "ground clearance" as the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground - and for both that is the differential which is what I was thinking of. Agree the underbelly will rise and also agree that it's very beneficial. I think Sal-XK was referring to the 4" lift maintaining a better geometry for the suspension than a simple spacer lift (lots of folks use this one as a reason to go to a 4"). I am not sure if that claim is 100% true, but it makes sense.

Unfortunately this might now take a back seat to a new bumper since I scared mine pretty badly against a tree this weekend. DOH!
