Body Lift Engineering and insurance Requirements

Post by callumm »

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is required as far as legal requirements and engineering certificates when fitting body blocks. I live in brisbane. So do i have to get 2 inch blocks engineered and if so where can i get it done?

In QLD 50mm is all you are allowed in body lift height without engineering cert. you go to the RTA and they give you a form. You detail all the information about what type of blocks, bolts, nuts etc... they then approve it or not. Then as your lift is now not a road worthy issue ( if done corretly) insurance should not be a problem. Somebody correct me if I am on the wrong path but this is the way I read it when I was looking at a BL for my truck. :)

2" body as long as it is approved by qld transport. suspension is 1/3 of the stock wheel travel in one direction either up or down.
