within 1/3 bump stop travel at stock height or something

generally cruisers with what you have done are no problem at all.

Just a reply on needing a body lift certified my old lux had a 2 inch body lift using polyurathene blocks and high tensile bolts and went threw an inspection threw Qld transport and asked the bloke about the body lift, was curious to no if it needed to be approved but the bloke said there's nothing in the guidelines about a body lift

there is a bulliton issued that clearly tells you about the issue of body lifts and suspension height
suspension can be raised or lowered by 1/3 of the stock vehicles travel so measure your shock at full extension and divide by 3
body lifts are to be performed by a qualified person using "solid material of equivilant dimesions and no higher than 50mm",high tensile bolts are a must . poly blocks are not considered to be solid but the argument still exists that it is strong enough
body lifts can only be aproved by qld transport so ring the modification department 2 or3 times ask the same q,s and you will get 2-3 different answers so nobody knows what each other is doing
it doesnt state anywhere that you can or CANT do both at the same time
