G'day, can anyone tell the best place to get a body lift for a 89 vitara swb, thanks.

On here - Just Cruzin'

However, I understand Justcruzin's kits use poly blocks that aren't legal here in Vic.

Just Cruzin' - can you do them in alloy to help out the Vic brethren that can't use poly?

Steve.

I don't know where you Victorian's get your information.

From the National Code of Practice NCOP11 Section LS Suspension and steering 3 Feb 2006 page 63 as used by Vic Roads

Body Blocks
Body blocks between the vehicle body and the chassis must comply with the following:

Material must be of similar strength and durability as the original components;

All assemblies and piping that spans between the body and the chassis must be suitable for the increased distance;

The increase in height from these blocks must be less than 51mm.

Reading this your blocks should be similar to the original body rubber.

Victorians unite and embrace the use of engineering plastics, despite what you have previously been told.

I know what you're saying but unfortunately when I took your kit to the Engineer he was not interested and told me it must be metal so either solid alloy or steel is required. So I have a kit that requires me to organise new blocks.

If you can convince an engineer to pass poly blocks in Vic you're doing well, they don't want to know.

This isn't old information, we're talking within the last couple of months.
