    Body Lift & Cab Cut Requirements for Queensland

    As of mid April 2012 body lifts do not have to have Queensland Transport Approval given first. They can now be Approved by an Approved Person, under the K3 Code.

    Must comply to below:-

    50mm maximum lift
    Body blocks must be same diameter as original
    High Tensile bolts must be used
    Blocks can be steel, alloy or high density plastic or poly
    All gear lever boots must be retained and floor sealed
    Brake lines & clutch lines to be routed correctly
    Good workmanship to apply
    Airbag sensors to remain operative as per manufacture design

    Body cuts can now be complied by an Approved Person without seeking prior approval from Queensland Transport. A K3 plus other codes will/could be required such as LK1 and if needed a LO1.

    If I can be of any assistance regards vehicle modifications please give me a call on 0418 745 830 or drop me an email.

    Regards

    Hi David,
    Does this mean you are able to inspect and approve or advise changes required to get a vehicle to comply with state laws?
    I bet you've seen some real interesting vehicles (both good and bad)LOL

    Do you think it will ever be possible to have a lift higher that 2 inches certified?

    No, is the best answer.

    You will find that the rules do not state 2" but 1/3rd of rebound bump stop height. So height will vary depending on vehicle.

    So it is just as easy to say 2"

    Cheers

    No idea why that is.

    But the risk is yours if you go higher then what is allowed.

    And if anything does happen with an illegal lift you may wipe your insurance.
