Book says 2.0m/78.7" for V8 station wagon so add how much for the safari roof? 50mm or 2" probably at a guess. Add a lift kit, 40" boggers an who knows :D

hi
The height of 109 station wagon is 81.3 inches had look in my land rover book. I think the height that Jamie is refering toe is for the 88". if you add parabolic springs height will increase by approx 1"also height will change if you change size of tyres . My station wagon is at orginal height and as safari roof until i change to parabolic springs them the fun will begin as i have to lower tyres pressures to get it in the garage now .

As per the owner's handbook; Wagon is 2.0M or 78.7". (standard tyres etc.)
Is there a wagon that doesn't have a tropical roof?

There doesn't appear to be a listing anywhere for the optional longer shackles.

Just reading the original question again.... What do you mean by the maximum height?

The height I quoted is from Land Rovers own operation manual supplement for the 109 V8. Also relevant would be the type of springs on it now. The book lists 11 leaf fronts and 10 leaf rears which if original would be knackered by now and if replaced may not be original spec. Tyre pressures would make a difference too.
Does it realy matter?
V8_Disco Did you mean standard height for fitting in a garage or something? Or max possible height with modifications?
