In case the list gods are tardy in replying, you might get a rough figure by measuring from a) top of engine to ground, b) bottom of engine to height of skid, c) lowest point and existing height that you'll have to pass under, d) horizontal distance from that point to the after edge of the roof and e) distance from front wheel to location of c. (a - b) - c = minimum lift height at c. If you also lift the front end then that's your answer. If you *don't* lift the front end then you have to work out the right triangle with sides e and min-lift, and then the similar triangle with hypotenuse d. :) d |
