officially legal or not it all depends what you can pass over the pits. At least in WA once it's passed you really have no worries. Matt has passed two separate L series over our pits both with 3" lift kits :)

The law is 2" here in Victoria unless you have engineer's certificate to have that, but most of the time cops doesn't notice or they dont normally notice unless its obviously high with small wheels.

well at least u still have ur low range when off road with the stndard rims, mine is 3" lift and i havent had any problems with cops, the insurance company even knows about it, most lifted 4bies arent eginerred and have more than 50mm lift and more thatn 25mm bigger tires and they have no problems,

i even got my car road worthiesd with it, i have an add in the 4sale section if u want the lift and other bits and pieces
