Dave Metcalfe announced a few weeks ago that Qld Transport have changed body lift approvals from a full Transport inspection to just a blue mod plate from an approved person.
I'd post a link but the site is down, again.

Cool, I bought mine with a body lift already installed so I have nfi if it's been inspected but I'll get it done when I get my engine and seats once they are in. |

Awesome. Will be getting mine done ASAP. Does anyone know if 50mm blocks can be installed without new bolts? I was informed that the originals fit? |

Where's the cheapest place to buy them? Anyone have dimensions? How many in a swb vitara? The guy I bought my body lift was positive the stock ones worked. Maybe he already had the longer ones. |

Pretty sure the 'Approved Person' doing the mod plate will require new bolts anyway. |

Any one know what the ruling is for modfying the chassis outriggers to lift the body rather than using blocks to lift the car? |

Some can be done. The guy that approved mine said as long as none of the sensors are moved or affected |

Swifty, do your blocks have a tapped hole to screw onto the body studs? You would need ordinary bolts if that were the case. |

twitchy wrote: I take it air bagged vehicles are still a no go for body lifts?? That makes no sense twitchy, body lift usually refers to lifting body from chassis. If you are talking about air bag suspension I know of two vehicles registered and complianced in Brisbane with full airbag suspension an I don't mean a load assisting air bags inside a coil spring, I mean full air bag no springs at all. |

I think he mean cars with crash airbags Lifting the body off the chassis can stop them working proply if they are crush cans If they have a acelorometer they shold still work |

The OEM body stud is not long enough to go through that block, and your body rubbers. And are some of the blocks hacked? Whoever sold you these is a shithead.

Yeah they are ground because something about the front fouling on something because of the diameter of the blocks. |
