Enclosed trailer door height (1 Viewer)

I believe my door is 7ft high and the inside of the trailer is 80". I would recommend a wider trailer as I am scared to put doors on the machine because I won't be able to get out. Remember the height of the machine is 80" so but abit larger incase you wanna lift it or put on a light bar.

WELCOME to the forum!!! As for the door height??? While a STOCK defender sits around 80". Once you start adding tires taller than 29" and heaven forbid a lift..... a 7' door will be tight..... also, something to keep in mind.... Most doors with a cable system have the spring BELOW the door height. I bought a hauler with an 8' door...... sure it slides right through the door..... but the bunk beds hang below that and rub my rack...
Keep this in mind... You can ALWAYS get a smaller rig through a 8' door.... but you can MEVER get a bigger rig through a 7'er..... just sayin'

I have S3 Springs on a 2019 Max Cab XT with 30" tires and my machine is at 78" tall.
Thanks. I am leaning that way now. 8ft door. Bunk on a lift. Merry Merry....

He's still tight in there!! While i strap him down with wheel straps.... I still need to compress the suspension some or he hits the beds above. Only when his rack is on.....
The spec sheet says the 2021 limited is 79” high. Not sure how I could make that lower. Just found out a friend of mine is building toy haulers and ice fish house now. Saw one today. Looked great. Might have one custom built

That number is probably taken with the shocks at mid spring adjustment. You could probably make it lower..... Not sure about you.... But i didn't buy a Defender to turn it into a Chica low rider with dingle balls, diamond tucked upholstery, and a chain link steering wheel.... lol... I like yer idea of having it custom made to fit yer beast... I happen to be a CUSTOM kind of guy!!! Just make sure you give yourself some room to GROW!!!

You will need 90" if you ever get tracks.

I picked up this 7X14 Alcom Stealth aluminum trailer which has a 84" interior height for $6200 in April just when Covid was making things hard to get. The price has since jumped to $8500...Ouch!

I have a 2020 limited with tracks and it fits in 84" with 1/2" to spare. I was worried she wouldn't fit after i installed the tracks
