    4inch susp lift... 305x70x17... Superior radius arms/super flex arms... 22in light bar mounted in centre on top of bullbar not wired into high beam... Is any of this legal??? All this is on a gu wagon... Radius arms can be engineered??? Tires are border line??? Lift laws are apparently changing or have changed from the old 2in lift law??? Light bars need to be even numbers and mounted symmetrically also wired into headlights??? But for offload use only??? I'm after any real info from anyone who actually knows n isn't just a IMO she'll be right mate...

    Link directly from the Transport and Main Roads website. It has all the links to whats legal.

    Like you said in your first post, everyone has a different interpretation, well unfortunately so do all the police. The modification laws arent black and white, there is a a lot of gray areas.

    The laws in Victoria (yes I know not QLD) are such that you can have a maximum of 75mm lift without requiring an engineers certificate as long as your suspension mod is part of a commercially available "kit". This includes a maximum of 50mm in suspension and 25mm in wheels/tyres. I'm pretty sure this now forms part of uniform regulations around the country.
    As far as your lightbar goes, to be roadworthy it will certainly need to be wired into your high beam switch.

    Light bar will be fine as its not a driving light.. It's a work light.. You can have as many as you want.. As long as you stay within the limits of height, width and nothing past front of bull bar you will be right.
    As soOn as you wire into driving light system then you deal with pairs, etc..
    Cheers

    How is that true? As they say lights on the front of the car need to be wired into your high beam circuit on a separate switch. Pretty sure work lights have to be rearward facing?
