I would suggest a lot more resarch mate. What link setup you want to run, waht type of wheeling you want to do. Why do you so much need bling coilovers etc. Some more infomation we can help, but so far you have given us nothing to be able to advise you on. Sure its a bling part, but what are you going to do with it. The coil over might be legal, but the dodgy link setup may not. Sit down and think what you want to use the car for, tyre size, driving style, $$$$ to spend etc, write it all in a post, then ask for advice. This question is as vague as the common - What tyre is best- one.

Not having a shot at you at all, but to be able to get the most infomation and advice from the board, you need to give us something to work with.

Will 35" on a zook ever be road legal?

Just a note about coilovers. I take it that those rancho ones you posted up are out of the states? For a similar price you could get

King - 2" Remote reservoir, Coil Over, Prerunner Series Shocks (With springs)

So just make sure that you have a look around when it comes to coilovers (check out King, Radflo, Fox, SAW)

tyres aren't legal
diffs aren't legal
4 link is hard to get approved
and your worried about coil overs??

can i go coilovers under my zook?

yes

What problem are you trying to solve with coil overs? Its all very well to see a car with them in 4wd monthly and say you want it, without really knowing why they did it. If you want to keep it legal to do any that stuff your going to need an engineers certificate. your best bet is to talk to an engineer about what you want to do because if they say yes then your covered. It may be possible to engineer everything but the tyres. In which case if you get defected you can swap some stocks back on without worrying about having to rebuild the whole car. Its possible to run 35" tyres spua on suzuki diffs so if thats your end goal there are other ways.

Not knowing the finer details, I say the only way you will get a vehicle like this fully legal in QLD, is to have it registered as a custom vehicle. Then that still wont stop the cops giving you plenty of attention when the see baby bigfoot coming down the road.

Custom vehicle registration required close work with a certified QLD engineer (go speak to one in person about what you wanna do), and you will have to get your vehicle to pass modern vehicle safety criteria. Also it will cost a fortune. It has been done to at least one zuk I know of here in QLD.

As everyone else said, getting 35" tyres legal would be like legalising privetly owned nuclear reactors, they're as tight as duck's ..... on this matter. ONce again speak to an engineer if your keen.

in short i have been down this road...

everything you have mentioned is illegal in qld...

so after saying that id say go for it.... i drove the mud4b around for about 5 years with different link/suspension/tyre setups without a problem until i drove it with the 37 iroks and beadlocks.... this is when they pinged me...

but i got away with the coilovers/ link/ aframe/ exo on 35" claws...

much of a muchness bud.. it comes down to risk it and get your vehicle pulled off the road, or risk it and get away with it...

make sure you do it right as in setup if your going to.. when i had the claws on mine it was great to drive on the road as it was very well setup..
