If you have a bullbar there will be a gap.

ah cheers fellas yeah got the gay alloy bullbar will b goin but. no any the done a BL ??

 

[raywise]

Gay? Gay? You mean its not suitable ! I counted 5 alloy bars at our meet up on Sunday!

If you don't have a winch they are ok, can even get them powder coated to match the rest of the car. Not as strong as steel for sure, but for everyday use perfectly alright.

Wont a BL interfere with the mounts for the brace behind the bar?From memory there is some compressed foam between the steel strengthening bar and the plastic outer bar.

Body lifts are illegal on any vehicle with SRS (airbags)

Strictly that is not correct. "Any body lift that affects the operation of the airbags is not permitted". It can be done.

ah excellent help boys, i actualy rang Queensland depart trans today 50mm BL is totay legal need to fill out forms to "apply for the mod" send em away n have it inspected at pits once approved, can also increase bumpstop gap by 1/3 ontop of BL. Zordo do i need steering arm extension or anything extended to do BL coz idid on my old lux. i think i just need to trim fan cowling i think??

You have raise the bull bar.
I am doing a D40 tomorrow & it has an ARB bar.
The ARB bar has 4 bkts on the chassis
take the brks to a fabricator & he can make new ones 2" higher.

Zordo, I'm also looking at fitting a body lift to my king cab. I've already sent away mod forms to Qld transport. Just wondering if there is anything I would have to extend. Fuel filler hose maybe? Brake lines? Anything like that. I'd be purchasing the bodylift off you too, as soon as I get the ok from Qld transport.

Has anyone got any pictures of a D40 with a 2 inch suspension and 2 inch bodylift? Would be keen to see what it looks like.

 

[Aussie Frontier]

Good to see the QLD rego engineering staff read the same rules everyone else does.unfortunately they seem to have a different understanding of them.
BL are illegal in the ACT unfortunately as they are in some other states.

( wondering if there are any jobs going in QLD lol )

No extra bits to extend & D40 is fairly easy to do
