I believe that you can physically do it, but its not legal.

Don't ask me

I'm assuming that you can't as it may interfere with the operation of airbag sensors. I reckon most engineers would just say no

Virtual lift is legal though

[monley]

Alot of people in the UK are running BL's in there jimny's and have had no issues

Steve you could probably answer this question. Are the Airbay sensors G force activated or impact activated. You can legally fit body lift to vehicles fitted with G force activated airbags as they aren't effected. The new hilux has this setup and quite a few are fitted with BL's

Impact I think, will look into it, but 99.9% sure impact..

Both Mr Just, has 2 impact sensor's behind the front bumper & a g force sensor IN the module..

uk has different laws,

[Fatzook]

yeah don't believe everything you see on the interwebs

And just becausethe whinging poms are doing it 'without issue' doesn't make it safe or legal over here OR over there.

The japs run 6"+ bodylifts. So they must be safe...

naaahh they would do 6" in total but its impssible to do 6" of jsut lift it doesnt exist... the most loger is 4.5"

Japs use the 3" or 3.5" plus other 2" of bodylift... maybe one crazyone outthere with 3" BL... but I havent seen selling any 3" BL in their websites either

I'm only looking 30 - 40mm give or take ,Just so i dont have to cut any plastic .
With my luck if i go big on the lift, i'll have a New sticker on the screen And a ride on the back of a tilt tray and a please explain. compliments of the boys in blue ! regardless of legal or not .

[BlueSuzy]

Serious.

I have heard airbags and bodylift is illegal.

Why do you need bodylift?
Can't extend the bumpstops?
Cant hammer the inner guards? I know there is a huge welded seam in the front that will shread tyres.

I have seen a pootrol with an extra cab ute chop on 37's with a bodylift Engineered. But not with blocks. The original bodymounts were removed and new ones were welded on 2" higher.

Also depends on engineer.
