I can edit this to tell you the exact in about in hour. But if i remember correctly its 12" when down, 22" when fully extended.

EDIT: I was way off when it was down its 31" from bottom, and when it's fully extended it's 57" from bottom of the Elevator.

When it has a 40lb chassis mounted to the bottom (just mated, not having mounting brackets or anything) the center of gravity is 11" from bottom of elevator (elevator down) , and 22" when Extended.
