I know you speak German. Check out this website https://www.extremfahrzeuge.com/transit-4x4/ . It looks like 10 cm or 4 inches.

Yep was in contact with them in the beginning. Sadly the differences between the European and North American transits are too big to use their system. I would have done it in a heartbeat .
on a side note: other than the ground clearance, I’m very impressed how far our transit has gotten us with bigger a/t tires without 4x4

Getting this thread back on track, with the 2020 Ford Transit AWD (still waiting on an Aluminess tire rack)
This looks very nice. Can you stand up with the middle roof? We have not had the opportunity to check one yet, and I am hesitant to go to a dealer and go through the whole sales pitch just to check...

I can stand up in the middle roof, its about 5'10". That is with about 1/2" floor and 1/4" foam/fabric + 1/8" hardboard on the ceiling. I'm literally head against the roof.
I don't find that I stand THAT much in the van. Cooking and dishes, and I try to do those outside as much as possible.
High roofs are nice but they are +$3K, +extra interior labor, +more vulnerable to low hanging things.... this mid roof is 9'1" as it is....
Thanks Chris, CRLaurence awning in the second row all others are OEM.
I have installed a couple of these AMA full slider with screen (bonded vs clamp ring) if you are looking for an alternative with a "OEM look"

What color is your van? Have you started your interior build? What do you plan?

The van is Magnetic Metallic. Last year for this color I hear.
Interior build is done (and likely to be for sale soon), 4 seater, 3.5 sleeper, second row seat turns into a bed or reverses to form a dinette. 17 gal fresh, 7 gal grey under the floor, indoor/outdoor kitchen, Isotherm fridge, Wabasto heat, 200w solar/200ah AGM bank, bike drawer, porta potty, passenger swivel seat, etc. etc.
Flatline Van Co roof rack, Van Compass Topo 2.0 lift, and front skid plate.
Still working on a full spec sheet and web page for this thing.

I'm 6'2" and could stand up fine in my mid roof Transit, head slightly cocked. I got used to it and it didn't bother me at all. Mine was a passenger van with the thick ducted floor as well. I chose minimal interior ceiling paneling to maximize available height. Basically, Reflectix and 1/4" panel screwed right to the ceiling trusses. It was not bad and I would do it again over the high roof for reasons listed above.
