Chain is nice in that it will float, always, and if you hit into a hill or whatever it can float up more. Bad news is it'll hit something else going up, vs being limited by the lift rod. I am contemplating adjusting my #450 lift rod to get some more height (lowered on flat/level surface is still at 3.5 on the height indicator), but want to alleviate other issues from arising.
It's pretty snug on my 1811 with the lift linkage. Fortunately they did a pretty dang good job designing them where nothing should interfere with the grill/front casting for a while (torsion rod is close, but doesn't move out of it's axis). I did pull the tunnel to clean/change trans filter and verified that the hydraulic lift was in the float pin).
I could probably rebush everything and gain a marginal amount of lift, too.
