I cant remember exactly but there was a thread in the rover section about using the polyurethane rollers off a boat trailer. Cut them down to whatever size you want and they are pre-drilled for a bolt too.

Not too sure on legalities/strength though.

last i heard QLD transport was only approving steel/alloy body lift blocks. If i was you id contact qld transport (you are supposed to get approval before you install the body lift) and see what they are willing to approve.

lifting blocks

Post by DR Frankenstine »

Ive used the blue 75mm parralell polly boat rollers now for a few different vehicles and they are great. I even removed some from a vehicle used hard off road and they showed no signs of wear. The rollers are dunbier and are 300mm long.

do you mean body lifts specifically? or your car in general?

You cant engineer a bodylift in QLD. It can only be approved by QLD transport, through prior written approval, and then after installation inspection.

If your car is engineered correctly then they cant defect you for it....
