Probably around 4 ft. high and 40 ft. on a nice downsloping table top jump at the dunes. It could be a little more. I don't really like getting too high just airing it out on distance. I haven't broken anything yet (knock on wood).

I have hit some 4-5 ft jumps and not broken anything yet.But be sure the chain is right and you have a chain tensenor.Check and adjust chain after a few jumps too.

4-5 feet high with no problems without a chain tensioner.

i remember doing some 6-7 footers high with my '96 scrammy,those was very light and handling was better to throw around comparing to concentric system drive,at 490 lbs with 4x4,it was a real fun to land,
oh yeah that jump spot was real nice,it was a sand pit with an dowhill
jump as the level field was slowly fading down all the way,so you were catching big air real fast.

Those are safe heights and distances, but if you plan on going any bigger, look at putting some aftermarket shocks in and an aftermarket axle. Otherwise the shocks will bottom harshly and cause some frame damage, or the axle will snap, I have seen that happen.
