Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm chasing the link to the list of QLD mod platers. I've heard there is a list somewhere just not sure where. I assume it's on the queensland transport site but i can't find it.

Planning on ringing a few to see their opinions on engineering sprung over. I've been told it can be done although the general consensus is that it can't but i figure i'm better of talking to someone actually in the know. Or can somebody definently assure me it can't be engineered.

Thanks!

CAN'T be done.

yea im pretty sure it can't be done, but if it's a suzie by any chance, i think you put hilux diffs under it ( standard spring over) and that passes as is factory,

I am too understand the same but that line don't work on a zook as the track increase is too wide

When I spoke to my mod plater about it, he said:

The only way you could possibly get it approved in QLD was if you keep the vehicle the same height before and after (i.e. fit much flatter springs).

The rules specifically state you cannot use SOA as a means of lifting a vehicle.

Yeah i have read that but i had a few people telling me you can get it plated, so i thought it was worth an ask. I see what your saying with a differential that uses factory sprung over. Yeah the idea wasn't to have a rediculously tall truck more a case of being able to run a flatter setup without losing too much ground clearence.

Thanks for the info, back to the drawing board!

Cheers

what type of truck did you have there??

FJ45, so really any factory sprung over diffs are going to be too small. I am aware you can get sprung under to work very well but i'm just sourcing some other setups first. I'm prepared to throw some $$ at it if its going to be the right setup.

i wonder if you could use 9 inch f-truck gear. dana 60 front. i believe there sprung over from factory. and dana front ends are coil. i dont think you'd be able to do it with the width they sit from factory. you would have to shorten them. that would be the best way.

Yank gear ey, hmm hadn't thought about that. Food for thought.

Sorry mods if this thread has gotten off topic and isn't in the appropriate area. I've had my question answered!

However i still have no idea what i want

try and find a volvo c303 and get the portal axle setup out of that. then you will have a beast lol
