Approach and depature angles

[Trugga]

Having managed to raise the ride height of the Sport yesterday evening, with the exceptional help and enthusiasm of A friend, I decided to measure the approach and departure angles.

Front = 45º
Rear = 45º

Also, there is just about 24" of clearance under the rear most crossmember and the front winch roller fairlead clearance is also close to 24" clear.

Not bad I thought

If the weather improves for tomorrow evening, I'll take a comparison photo with the BBB, nose to nose and rear to rear.

I just want to know if it went under the garage door.

I got in a bit late this evening, so haven't yet tried it.

Also, I didn't want to accidentally knock the door of its runners gain - it'd be a bit awkward to fix it in the dark.

Maybe the weekend, when I can fettle with the garage door.

What is regarded as a "good" angle for non competitive off roading and, pray tell Lawrence , what method did you use to get your angles? (the trucks,not yours!)
