= From the front suspension arm linkage bolt axis to the ground.R1= Radius of the front wheel when laden.L1= From the centre of the wheel to the front suspension arm linkage
bolt axis.
H1’= From the front jacking point to the ground.L1’= From the front jacking point to the radius of the front wheel when
laden.

R2.
Calculate dimension H2. Measure the radius of the front wheel:R1.
Calculate dimension H1or H1’.
