Legal or Not.

Apparently spend $10's of thousands of dollars.
Actually I have no idea, they wouldn't say, and guessing they won't unless you give them your cheque book

Do people actually buy that stuff?

Give a workshop $50k+ and I'm sure they will build you a nice rig.

LRA do things the right way and pride themselves on building trucks that are safe. Engineers can up the GVM. Depending on what has already been done to your existing build to strengthen it, it might not cost that much. Most expensive part may be the swerve/brake test etc

Have never been able to get any info out of them, unless I was buying something. Anyway, I'm not to bothered now as its on the road

Well done!

So how is your one going?

I'm a bit leary on the safety side of a lifted truck with 35" rubber and enough power to get 50% over the speed rating on those 35's. But that's a story for another day.

Never had that problem, Andrew is an extremely busy guy, however will give u the time of day if you are a genuine potential customer, however if you dont intend on being a paying customer its probably best to speak to an engineer or do your own research for obvious reasons, awesome you got your rig sorted tho!
