true but I believe the laws with respect to modifercations in QLD are more stringent than Vic, not sure or perhaps the Po Po here in Shitsvic are just more informed? Who knows but the drill is...

"13.3 Raising of Four Wheel Drive Vehicles – Alternative to VSB 14 Modification Code LS

In the case of raising the height of an offroad type 4WD of ADR Category NA, NB1, MC or MD, and only in this case, the following two options apply as alternatives to meeting the requirements of Section LS of VSB 14. (the options are 75mm total lift, tyres and suspension, or 1/3 of suspension travel and restrictions on tyre diameter)

[Source: VSI 8 Guide to Modifications for Motor Vehicles ]

Note the reference to MC categorisation for Victoria. That means owners of Ford Everest, Jeep Cherokee Trailhawks and 2015-onwards Jeep Grand Cherokees miss out as they are all categorised as MA passenger vehicles. Owners of utes are fine as they are categorised NA."

I know a TJ owner here in Shitsvic that spent 6 grand getting cert for 33"s but then it's probably going to cost at least half that to get your rig legal depending on how you go about it, it's a real conundrum.
