Generally it's outright refusal....

For the specialist insurers who know the diffrence betweena 7" lift and a 3" lift it may affect premium. Especially for the young.

Being a 30+ old fart they'll insure me or refuse.

My '90 sierra is insured with TCIS http://www.tcis.com.au/. It has basic mods, such as 2" suspension lift and a couple of other items listed as accessories (GPS, UHF, etc).

No dramas at all insuring it, other than doing the paperwork. They seem to be quite happy with mods as long as its road worthy. Its insured for an agreed sum of $10,000 and costs ~$600/yr. I cant remember the exact figure off the top of my head. This includes full cover offroad.

I'm 28 and you do need to be a member of a 4wd club ($40/yr in my case).

Lemme know if you need more details.
