ask the QLD DOT and find out for sure but yes it is basically impossible to do legally in QLD.

I still think everyone should be asking their own state authourities about any questions on legality rather than relying on internet heresay

its perfectly legal if you never get caught, dont have insurance and most importantly dont hit and/or kill someone.. good mate of mine is going spring over on his rocky and has been informed by Q transport that it voids his compulsory third party because it is welding to the diff (which is apparently illegal) and therefore makes your registration void. so it isnt legal even with an engineers report, or a good mate in QLD.

sorry, please prove me wrong though....

if its leaf sprung...... Yes!

You can go coils.... coily diffs.... and get your chassis engineered. or just start with a rolling coily chassis. :D
