Hi Guys,
With legislation here in QLD now allowing for a 25mm tyre lift and a 50mm suspension lift i'm ordering the FFWL 50-65mm lift kit and behind-bumper winch kit from Russia for my SWB 2012 GV3. It uses the stock springs so you don't end up lifting and losing flex from stiffening as well. Replacement front and rear arms to remove suspension angle issues when lifted allows for cornering etc to remain relatively unchanged.
At around $1800 landed is spectacular!
Will post photos once it goes in. ------------------------- Update:
Spoken with engineer - no issues with QLD mod plate, arms require X-ray only. Will be ordering in a few months and installing by winter
- front arms fully fix the rear-bush flex and angle issues as well as providing a heavier ball joint with greater range of movement increasing droop potential and a replaceable rear bush with greater range of movement. - rear arms provide lift and correct geometry misalignment experienced when bigger springs are installed and solve droop limiting issues

That’s going to require engineer approval, as though you’d made them yourself. Expect to have to strip coating and have magnetic particle inspection with acceptance code AS 1554.1 SP as a minimum.
Sounds challenging and interesting. I hadn't come across this solution in my internet wanderings for the NGV. Would greatly appreciate updates if you make progress.
