Ok
I have the CRDSTU H/Duty lift
measurements from ground up through the centre of the tyre to the bottom of the guard
Standard Height & Standard 245/65/17 tyres
Front 845mm..... Rear 840mm

CRDSTU lift with standard tyres
Front 890mm..... Rear 910mm

Front 45mm increase Rear 70mm increase

With my 2t van hooked up it sits level and I didn't needed the WDH on my last trip to QLD (5000km)

Currently with 245/75/17 tyres sits at
Front 900mm...... Rear 920mm, an extra 10mm from tyres.
I am contemplating changing my rear shocks to allow more travel, but I think the 5 link rear setup is the real limiting factor, may just change out the HD springs.

It was the Rola Vortex XL, wider and longer. I replaced the factory front to back rails with rola cross bars (that look like unistrut), trimmed them down an notched to fit the factory mount plastics. then used HD unistrut 20mm full saddles to bolt down to the new side rails.

This is the best pic of the width i can find, old pics, didnt take many back then!

Thanks Dave. I've got the big one sitting on my WG but it is about 100mm wider each side than the factory rails so it comes right out almost above the door opening. Just trying to decide if it is going to look too wide. Does look a bit wide when sitting up higher on the cross bars but I'm going to remove the rail system and do new mounts directly to the roof. Hoping when only about 50mm off roof that it doesn't look too wide. Like the extra length. The WH is obviously a good bit wider at the roof than the WG.
