Thread: So who here has got an engineers certificate for their airbag lift?

Do we need a certificate for anything under 50mm?

From what I've seen, most are FAR over engineered!

Well we have modified the suspension so I would have thought so. If it was a coil lift then the coils are bought rather than home made.

Not sure how to take this document below. I'm assuming suspension mount points likely means the swing arm mounts, axle mounts etc. And not the airbag mounts.... but not sure

It's a grey area... It doesn't mention spring spacers having to be made professionally. The way I read it is that 2" or less and you don't need a cert. if you modify radius arms or trailing arms, a-frame, etc then you need to speak to an engineer.

don't you have a big rectangular button with arrows on it negating the need for a nosey plod to pull out his tape measure?

Coilers cannot do this

Well truth be told I send mine to highway height whenever I see an RBT. But its not Mr Plod that I'm worried about, its insurance.

My bro lifted his GU Patrol 2", told his insurance company about it, they did not ask which company manufactured the lift.

As far as I'm aware, the onus would be on the insurance company to prove that the modification directly caused the accident/damage. Or at least prove it played a significant part. If the rangey over turned as a result of a swerve maneuver, it would be a messy insurance recovery process I'd imagine. Would you feel confident in passing the "Elk" test now, verses pre-lift?

Gotta ask, what does ELK stand for? Emergency Lane K.... I'm guessing!

I definitely think mine would pass a lane change test. 2" has not changed the on-road dynamics enough to notice.
