I'd happily run 37's no lift just a ridiculous guard chop if I could get it engineered. Low, stable, great clearance. Throw in lockers and it'd be mint.

A duramax doesn't give you an axle height lift that Portals would. Depends on the person, what their current ride has and what their desires are.Quote:

Yeah just imagine what you could build if money wasn't an issue.Quote:

Yeah, so after going on a wild goose chase and getting the run around, I've given up on VASS engineering. Was prepared to drop around $3k to do it all but no one wants to take my money.
All I wanted certified was a 3" suspension lift and 35's.
Last engineer I spoke to (well it was Chinese whispers through his secretary) told me it can't be done because it's "illegal" .... umm derr , that's why I need you... if I kept it within the ADR then I wouldn't really need an engineer would I!?!?! FFS!!
Too hard basket!
You wont get 35's engineered mate. Period. The engineers can't just engineer anything that comes through their doors, regardless of how well set up the vehicle is. It doesn't work like that. They have a set of rules they must abide by called VSB14 which is provided by the grubernment, and have a limit on how far they can go in regards to modifications. 35's are NOT allowed. So forget about trying.Quote:

Yes different engineers will tell you slightly different things. I remember finding this out too. But all of them, must abide by the same rules.
I did it. So its not that hard.
I may be wrong but didn't Simon Christie gets his Yoda engineered with 35's?Quote:

The whole debacle of 35’s on say even only a 2” solid lift is crap IMO! Once hired one of them Kiwi company owned hire motor homes for a family funeral dash north and was scared shitless of its balance. How on earth could those top heavy junkers pass a swerve test and not a fair built Patrol :-( !

Might have to get our patrols engineered to umm deliver playgrounds in remote communities.Quote:
