Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a standard GQ ti wagon. looking at doing a 2 inch body lift and 2 inch springs and eventualy fitting a set of 32's. Am currently insured with Alianz (fully comp)called them today and asked about proposed mods and was told I could only go 2 inches over standard height. Any recomendations for an insurance company which is not so restrictive and dosn't have costs which are over the top?
Thanks
Alan

suncorp insured mine with body blocks & 3" lift, just need to get the right person on the phone who is willing to get off there ass & ask the underwritters. price wise they were very reasonable

32"s are a non issue since 7.5R16 was a factory option and they're a 32" tyre.

Some insurance companies get very nervous about lifted cars... if you're getting that feeling now you're probably not gonna have much fun with them when you have an accident and need help.

Yeah , I was with Alianz aslo, I had a Cab cut done to a Xtra Cab and they would not touch me, Not even considering I had been with them for 10 Yrs without a clain, I found Unique Car Insurance in Melbourne to be great,Good price and a agreed value also right down to the roll cage and racing seats, 36 inch tyres and all, Give them a yell........

thats who Im going with, check teh techo section, theres a thread there, I did some callin round this week.

I think within 2 yrs you wont get insurance for over 3inch lift at all.

I think there will still be specialist places who will do it.

I Guess I have to stick with 2" lift now I signed up with NRMA today - they also specify a 2" maximum lift on thier policies.

Nothing about virtual lift by chopping into the guards though

Woohoo... first time in 12 years the bike and car have had insurance.

Lets hope I dont need it.

If he didnt he wont be covered..

i was with Western QBE , but met a broker at a party who said he woiuld do some homework ........came back 3 days later [ i thought he was full of piss n wind] and gave me SHANNONS quotes they were cheaper than my QBE rates , the only thing they did was come out an photo my rig and ask for all mods to be photoed and sent in

yea got one of their online quotes for mine, $570 and insured for $12,000 inc accessories!

i know shannons or just car insurance will insure anything. just is affiliated with AAMI so i reckon thy must be ok. RACQ also said i could go 4". i dont know if RACV do insurance, but i assume they would be very simmilar. in anycase i have always gotten it checked b4 spending the money on the mod..................

dunno, i got a quote from them when i got the GU, too dear though, i didnt have any mods at the time, but i wanted to put them on and i thought id go with them. maybe they dont do them once there mod.......

Shannons generally wont just insure a 4wd from what i understand, if you have another classic or collectable or rare car with them they seem happy to do it.
Thats what i understand from my dealings with them.

Correct, I have the Audi insured with Shannon’s and that was the only reason they gave me a quote. However I ended up going with someone else after I got the quote.
