I know mine looks good with black rims..

Agreed. When i fitted 285's i stuck with my factory STX wheels in silver, black painted factory wheels look tacky as. Go the 285's!! Ute looks good mate!

is that just a 2 inch lift ,looks more in the front , looks great tho ,

2 inch suspension lift plus 2 inch body lift... The front sits level with the back because im not running a bullbar, just the nudge bar that weighs stuff all..

Nice! Who signed off on the body lift?

My understanding is that if they are signed off/engineered (what ever that means) and you can provide the certificate to Vic Roads and your insurer then you are sweet. Otherwise they are a no-go.

For that matter 33's are illegal (on Navara's) in Victoria as well as they are greater than 50 mm larger in diameter over the stock tyre size.

The 40 looks great, nice pics.

It's only a problem if you get caught ;-)

who cares about legalities? (different in all states anyway)... it looks sweet, thanks for sharing.

Not worried about getting caught - if I were worried about that I wouldn't even leave my house...

I would be more concerned about being unroadworthy in the event of an accident. I know enough about the rules to be dangerous and wouldn't want to be in a situation where I could be entirely liable, even though I might not have been at fault, just because my car was unroadworthy. You never know what the other asshole who crashed into you is going to do - after all, HE JUST CRASHED INTO YOU...

Never give anybody any reason to doubt you and cover your ass.

And yes rules do differ from state to state... however most of the questions were coming from us Mexicans as old mate with the body lift is one of us! I would love to get an engineered body lift - just wanted to know where he got it from...

Yeah, but then you never do anything exciting.

I really don't understand what this means. So just because you only have 32 inch tyres on your ute means you can't have an exciting time off road?

I live in an area with a nazi team of TMU, i run 33's and they have pulled me up for random breathos, looked over my car and no problems at all. They even looked at my muffler delete pipe, but it dumps just before the rear axles so they didn't care.

I may get done one day by a TMU officer, but so far so good.
