LC100,4.5 with 35inch tyres,fuel consumtion?

Thanks rockcrawler,I currently have a 3inch lift,I'm thinking about a 50mm body lift so I can fit the 35s on. I have read in a 4x4 mag that a 50mm suspension lift combined with a 50mm body lift doesn't need an engineers certificate.And insurance companys accept this.As opposed to a 4inch lift,you need an engineers certificate for compliance,which means big $$$. My maverick shorty has 50mm suspension lift,50mmbody lift with 35s, and no insurance hassles.I know the 4inch lift gives far better articulation,and has a bit more wow factor about it,but I thought to save any potential legal hassles from vic roads or my insurance co in the future,the body/suspension lift was the way to go... Whats your opinion???

My shorty has 130 mm suspension lift and 80 mm body lift and 36" CP's nothing legal about it .

Who ever told you that anything over 2" suspension lift is Road worthy and no need of engineers , is full of S H I T . There is no Body lift that is legal . They all need a engineers report. To add to that , 35" tyres arnt legal either . You need to have a engineers to have them on your car also.

Your insurance company may have said , no problems to your mod's . Because they asume you have them done legaly with engineers reports. If you look at the fine print of your insurance contract , it states that the vehicle is to be in roadworthy condituion at all times .

Road worthy rules in Victoria state that no tyre over 2" from factory can be fitted and no suspention lift over 2" also . Body lift is a no no full stop .

If you want any of these items legaly on your vehicle , the vehicle needs to be engineered.

You can take this info to the bank

Hi Bill S,I currently get 20litres per 100kms around town,and 17.5litres per 100kms country driving.I don't drive hard,in fact I drive fairly conservatively. Hope this is of some help.

Steve , I think you should actually read a post before you post . The fellow here is asking about fuel consumtion with 35's Who on earth mentioned gas here.

If you dont like a post read on . Some people that ask questions here are new to the sight and may not be familiar with the sites search facility .

Dont you think explaining that there is a search facility here , is better than been rude ?

I have been a Member here for a long time and have seen the same question come up many a time , I have never seen the need to freak out about it.

Cheers RC
