Engineer in Sydney for a gq 5"lifted

Post by 94lux »

Hey guys i'm looking for an engineer in Sydney to pass a gq ute with a 5" lift. Also wondering on how much people have paid for the same thing. Also how hard to get 37's engineered on it? Looking to buy one from Qld and register it in NSW. Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers for the quick reply, the main thing is the lift. Getting the tyres engineered is a bonus.

Spoke with him a few weeks ago... 3" lift and 33's (on 80 series) seem to be his limit at the moment.... Simon F may be more helpful?

I am about to start a GQ build with Athol Mullen and he will only let me go 4inch total lift and 33inch as max tyres. Not sure on cost. He is in Cardiff (Newcastle)
