Yes extremely unlucky Tony, but the salesman has every reason 2 say he won't install them if he believes it 2 be illegal
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Is that the current regulations now, or something that is proposed?

I'm not the smartest cooking in the class
But from my understanding from both VIC Roads modification guide and infrastractures NCOP11 Section LS Tyres Suspension Steering ( VSB14 )
50mm is still the current Total limit above factory ride height
But sometimes ( most ) I just don't understand what is written in front of me so I am probable wrong

That is the current regulations.
13.3.1 Option 1 on page 7 of the VicRoads guide:
"This option allows a combination of suspension lift and the fitting of larger diameter tyres that results in a total lift of up to 75 mm without the need for the testing and certification normally required by VSB 14 for lifts above 50 mm provided the following requirements are met."
What it does call into question though is fitting combinations of springs and shocks that are not part of a matched kit from a single manufacturer......
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

So as I read it for you guys, you can 'legally' install a 50mm spring lift and the either 25mm in body or tyres to give an over all of 75mm.. Or any other combination..
