Average overall height

[Crankskee]

Hi guys,
Im chasing the average height of a potential expedition/work truck.
Trying to weigh up which vehicle to buy, Iveco Daily crew cab 4x4, Isuzu NPS 300, fg fuso crew cab.
As I will be using it primarily for work as a builder/chippie, I will need to load up timber and materials on the load racks.
I understand the Iveco has an average height of 2.6m as standard on standard spec wheels.
The fuso and Isuzu is around 2.5 on factory wheels.
Anyone out there have an average finish cab height of Isuzu and fuso after fitting parabolics and super singles with say 33 inch rubber ?
Also what their Iveco cab height ended up after changing over wheels and rubber ?

Greatly appreciated.
Stevo.

I recon 1.5" lift from springs, 2" lift from 35" tires, 1" from 33" tires. Cab heights should be listed on website of mfg (pg 162 on fuso bbd).

Welcome to the forum. Where are you based out of?

I've got a 2010 canter 4x4, picked up around 2" lift from ATW super singles, 2" from their parabolics. Ended up at 2.55m for top of truck cab, 2.7 for top of camper when the roof's down, 3.3m when roof's up.

Are you planning on a slide on camper? Or having it permanently fixed?

Thanks guys , exactly the info I was chasing. Greatly appreciated.

I'm based in Maitland near Newcastle NSW Australia.
What ever vehicle I choose it will have a permanent work canopy bolted on to a pivot or spring frame. Then a slide of camper to the rear on the same frame.
Isuzu or fuso crew cabs benefit from a longer chassis length
But I do like the walk through capability of the Iveco crew cab to be able to strap the kids in.

I've got the 2010 NPS single cab, 285/70 19.5 tyres (dia?) and the earlier version of the ATW parabolics - camper top is 2650mm roof down and cab top about 100mm lower.

After I here tails of raised parabolic suspension and 37 inch tyres, I had images of a truck way up around the 2700-2800. But these figures seem to sit the Isuzu and canter around approx 2500-2600 which is where I'm happy. Having to load timber and gear up onto racks that could sit potentially 100mm higher than the cab height had me looking at 2wd not 4wd which was a shame.
Having ideas of a hydraulic rear load rack that could drop down to around 2200mm from ground to slide timber up onto then raise upto 2600mm horizontally. Only limits the closed height of a rear camper to that 2100-2200mm.
Going past a truck yard to check out a crew cab Isuzu over the weekend on our way to Easter holidays. Could end up driving it home 8).
