How many Deefer owners could measure there trucks in a few places?
Yes I am writing a book! Just not about this..

Just to get a good comparison of lift, load, shocks and ride height plus your feel for the suspension. Might help guys looking to do some suspension work make some edumacated decisions.

Like my front springs measure 13.25" sitting normally from one end to the other. I have 6" up travel and 5.5" down travel. I have yet to measure the rear but I will..

The ride is nice over the small bumps but a little violent over the big jarring bumps, more weight in the truck and some shock adjustments will help because it's so light currently.

From the ground to the bottom of the sill's is 24" in the front and 24.5" in the rear but should really measure to the bottom of the doors though because of potential slider differences.

Seem like a good idea?

I'm not a Defender owner, but I did something similar when I experimented with different spring setups:
