How to Measure

Hi one and all , I have in the last twelve months purchased an 80 series cruiser the previous owner has had new springs put into it front and back they were surpposed to be hi lift kit ( I would prefer normal) a few people who has seen it seams to think that it is (normal) my question is were do you measure to find out if it has been lifted and what are the new measurements . I like a lot of other forumites have become addicted to this site , you go away and when you get home the first thing you do is turn the computor on to find out what been going on and how many Nissans have blown there motors up . Cheers for now and keep up the good work Roughneck
