Lift and Tyres of your JK

Today a stock 2011 JK parked alongside me on the flat. Took the opportunity for a measure up and jeeper chat. Measured from ground to bottom of pinch seam about 30cm back from front wheel well.

His was 450mm
Mine was 600mm

I'm now freakin as it appears I may have a 6" lift ! Surely this can't be right or maybe my mods have gotten carried away?

hey mate nice rig
where did you get those rims from?

cheers

So...

Not sure what Brighton your in but it wouldn't hurt to give Stu a call from Muchison products as he really knows what he is talking about with the AEV lift. I have it myself and I will be getting 35" to suit the lift as it is totally designed for that size tyre.

You have a nice rack
Said that to a girl once and she hit me
But seriously you have placed a lot of design into the rack and its a credit to you.

2.5" lift and 35's is not legal in Victoria, as it is 1.25" over the allowed 75mm increase in overall vehicle height before engineering is required. Even 34's and a 2" lift is .25" over the allowed 3" increase

I'm on 34.4 (315 75/17) with 2,5" lift. for 20 months now. Never had the fun police wrecking my day. They even pulled up next to me at the traffic lights.

Saying this it should not be encouraging. Issue is, when something happens they have you by the balls!

Yep, there are more than a few of us who are outside of the legalities and do not get picked up by the Police. But it should be noted that even though a lot of us do drive around with these modifications and do not get in trouble with Johnny Law, they are still technically outside of the law and if were involved in an accident, there claim could very well be refused due to these illegal modifications.

I'm being a bit of a buzz k!ll, I know. But, I think it's important that others new to the 4be scene are aware of this information, instead of getting a very rude surprise in a worst case scenario. It could be a very expensive lesson to learn otherwise.
