| Not sure. The tires are 26 inch tires. The actual lift is 19 inches. So I'd say about 3 and a half feet. Has a 15 hp brigs. With a 6 speed transaxle. It has a stock pulley on engine and a 6 inch on trans from stock being 7 | |

| It's easy to get on. Step on the tire and you hop on just like you would a stock tire | |

| I won't lie it's up there. First time out showing it off I flopped it on its side. After that I added 6 inches to each side. Got rid of the stock stamped crossmember and built a new one with 1/4 inch steel and added shock absorbers for the back of a semi cab to slow the tipping speed and haven't had an issue since. Newest issue is I need to take it from a transaxle to a 6 speed trans and run a chain down to the axle. Big things are coming in the future for this mower. As well as a new build to goner my grandpa | |

| Thanks. Yeah four link is cool. That's what I used on my mini truck build that I posted on here today. This one will stay 2 wheel drive just due to that I like the simplicity of it. | |
