As Dave said above.

Furthermore, from my understanding that includes combined lift from tyres, suspension. i.e. put a 2" suspension lift in and you can't 'legally' put bigger tyres on as you will be over your 2"

I believe they are, I spoke to an engineer once and he had sugessted 33" tyres and 1" body lift so from that I'd say they are.

I dont think the cops in WA are too harsh on the 50mm rule. There seems to be plenty of 4x4 getting around with closer to 100mm combined tyre and spring lift.

They dont like SOA or anything that looks untidy though
