yes u can do a spring over conversion

depending on what state u live in , will determine whether it can b engineered

Also remember that those Vehicles sit very close to the SKY when sprung over with the normal springs, so it would probably be more a pain than an effective lift....there is one in NEWY that is WAAAYYYY too high, by any thought of the imagination......if you do not want to run 40" tyres or more it would be a waiste ....

If you do a spring ova, you will have to take a few leaves out, which will help.

Says who..

RTA Reg stating no extended shackles, but there is a loophole allowing me to cut off my (accoring to an engineer) spring mounts and extend them from the chasis and use standard shackles.

As long ast the shackles are standard.. bugger everything else.

Same engineer indicated that RTA regulators were ringing around asking for their interpretation of the rules!

I think NSW is at times run a pack of beurocrats who get driven around all day in limos that never see an ounce or dirt

Sorry for the ago :oops:
