I guess it was around 4 feet from the tires to the ground. My head was up there pretty high. The bike landed great and did not bottom. Wolverines jump really well. Especially for a 4x4.

 

Wolverine is a great bike I love mine to death have since i got it in 2000. As to the slap in a 450 question their would be disadvantages. If you look at the aftermarket scene they have skidplates and such for it but a large majority of the engine performance parts are warrior parts which work because they are the same engine as the wolverine. Now if it were to be a different engine their might not be nearly as large of an engine performance market for it. Hotcams, high compression pistons, valve springs, exaust systems, etc.
