| 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. | |

| 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? | |

| 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. 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... | |
