Legal Lift Height

They did a gun buyback, could be something simular or just make it 2" body allowed in all states if they want to be tight @$$es.

that was just what the bloke at ARB said. actually it was about that i tuned around and walked out and went to pedders, lol
an arb mob in bunbury wa, i wasnt impressed with there costomer service anyway.

but i agree with you too, there does have to be limit. "because I'd still rather be hit by the GQ" hahahahahaha gold choice of wording there

do you know whats involved? does someone just look at it or does stuff literally need engineering?

Sorry mate not sure what's involved. I believe it just gets looked at by the appropriate persons in your state. I know in NSW have moved or will be moving away from engineers completely. But you will have to still get it certified by an approved certifier.

Ok, my apologies. I stand corrected.. In the nanny state (SA) we are allowed a maximum of 50mm rise before approval.
But this can be via, wheels, suspension or body lift..
So here they must measure from ground to gaurd not from the hub..

IF for the arguements sake, a universal code came in , and mods that were once legal then became illegal,of course the vehicle owner would be required to remove any illegal mods
Many many old skool cars were lets say ok to have that V8 in that EH holden, then the car was laid up or rego ran out, if it doesnt then comply to the new road law codes it will have to be adjusted to fit in the new codes
Its no different even in this day and age to buy something south of the border, maybe a lifted GQ , when taking it to say QLD ,if that lift in another state doesnt comply it has to be removed
A uniform aussie wide code of mods would be great,but until we can get someone with half a brain to get it sorted itll never happen
SA has a rule that to comply for historic rego, the car cant even have rims that wernt optioned for that month and year

As for body lifts, its great that many do get inspected,i wonder how many have thought theres more to it than just chuckin some blocks in ...
Most dont make allowances for stretched clutch lines,or steering coupler adjustements,floor plate/shifter area sealing,ensuring diff breathers to bodies have enuf movement,using the correct rated body bolts,fair bit to do it properly
