Frank,

Good observation, and not only do I not mind the feedback, I encourage it! I don’t know the measurement point, or whether the 14” is the max or min clearance. If you look at the “front” pix you will see that this lift was accomplished without crowding the wheel wells. Also given the tire sizes I’d suggest the lower A arms are a lot higher than 8,” maybe 10” to 12. something or more inches. Plus note that the center line of the tires is below the bottom of unmodified bumper. I just went out to check my ML and the clearance to the lower A arm in the rear is about 8” (the tires are at their half life, btw), the center line on the rear tires on mine sits about 4” lower that the one illustrated, plus mine doesn’t have as much room between the tires and the wheel well as the one illustrated. The front suspension of mine is lower yet. If they properly changed the other elements to support this (axles, control arms, torsion bars, etc) that is one seriously elevated ML!
