[Poacher-HILUX]

If i do a lift for my hilux. lets say a 40mm body lift. because it is under 50mm does it need to be certed?

cheers

yes all bodylifts have to be certed. up to 50mm spring lift does not ,talking to fitzy (one of the cert guys in dunedin) last week about doing this on my hilux.

WOF guy's are getting picky on the spring lifts too, the wording in the Warrant man's books has or is changing to anything that affects the centre of gravity, this will mean wheel size we get away with now will be picked up and springs on the old leaf springs and older 4wd's where they only gave official factory measurements to the wading height and diff clearance you will still have the 50mm as there are no factory measurements.

This new change was mainly brought in to control the lowering of vehicles so they can be checked for steering issues and bump stop clearance etc but it looks like it will affect us too.

Stupid they have to re write the rules to something so generic for a particular problem that it depends on who you see, there should be an if raised check and an if lowered check system, funny think is old softer springs will be picked up too.
