How do you get 17 1/2" with a 2" lift and 27's? You need to put that pee-pee ruler away. :(lmao:

From the ground to the bottom of the roll cage under the drivers door. I have bilsteins and 25" and have 11 1/2". If your tires are 3" taller they only give you 1 1/2" more clearance + 2" lift you should be around 15".

I gotta see 17 1/2" clearance on a Rhino. I have a 2" lift with EPI HD Springs and only have 11" of rear clearance once I have ridden for a while and everything has settled. I used to have 9" of clearance and the stability was much better. I bet a Rhino with 17 1/2" of clearance could be blown over in a strong wind -- I'd hate to ride that on much off-camber. Rhino

You may not be far off Chris when unloaded and the suspension is lifted. If I jack my Rhino up to change a wheel and then set it down i can have 14". Once I drive it around and let the suspension spread and settle then I'll be down around 11". I've seen pics of Rhino's over a 5gal bucket but that is normally an unsettled suspension with some lift.

I was thinking chris was a little bit over the top, easy way to tell a 5 gal bucket is 14.75 can you drive over one and not touch it?

But with him and all the crap he totes I bet not! That only looks a inch or so above the bucket. That bucket looks like one of them shorter ones too, the one i measured had 4 rings at top his only has two, could that be a "special bucket" he uses too? lol!

Nope , it will clear a 5.
But marty is right. i must of mesured after just putting the wheels on.
and it was unloaded.

settled down. from the door. it is 15 and 7/8 right at 16.
at the skids its little over 14 1/2.

now if i jack it up and set it back down.
my original numbers were correct. Wink
but that fully extended. so i agree i was wrong.

but as marty said settled down and if i get in it
and get out. from the sides its in the 15's... Wink
