There are a few angles that we feel could be of importance to some of our customers for various types of applications. These angles are called “Approach” and / or “Departure” Angles. These measurements could be of use if the vehicle is to be transported or for various off-road adventures to name a few types of applications. The approach angle involves the front portion of the vehicle. It is the largest degree of “ramp” you can “approach” without having the vehicle drag or bottom out. Taken from the front tire at ground to the lowest hanging component or bottom of front bumper, whichever component fails to clear first. The departure angle involves the rear portion of the vehicle. It is the largest degree of “ramp” you can “depart” from without having the vehicle drag or bottom out. Again you measure from the rear tire at ground to the lowest hanging component or bottom of rear bumper, whichever component fails to clear first. The following diagram will give you a better visual of these angles.
