certifacation is a piece of piss,just dont go over board,get every thing done that you want to get done then certify everything at once ie: oversize tyres & wheels, suspension, seats, rollbars etc,phone your insurance company and let them know what you intend to do because some companies wont cover you even if certified,Ive done 100mm suspension 40mm body lift ,35x12.5 x15in tyres and wheels cut 150mm off the back of the chassis added oversize flares 3in big bore exhaust boosted the turbo and up the fuel and had no problems even with the insurance company or the warranty people

Give Don Hoff a call, he does certifications, he works out of Fitzgerald Motors, Waterloo Rd, Hornby.I cant remember what his business iscalled but he is based there, he should be able to tell you all about your suspension certification needs

Alternatively talk with Wayne Martin who works out of the garage behind Shell Southbrook in Rangiora as he is very open to 4WDs and has a long background in vehicle building and engineering. He is very helpful and willing to discuss options and ideas.

I have his number here somewhere but can't find it at the moment.

PS: Definitely keep the insurance company posted on what you have done, and where you are using it. I have my insurance with State, and have it written on my policy that the truck is modified, and that I use it offroad. They are happy with that, as long as they know. If you fitted lifted springs and other bits and pieces then hydro'd the engine in a river they might look sideways before saying no...
