NSW rides high
NSW joins Queensland and Victoria in allowing a 75mm lift without the need for certification4WD owners in NSW can now increase their vehicle ride height over standard by 75mm following an announcement by NSW Roads, Maritime and Freight Minister Duncan Gay.
Gay released details of the “Light Vehicle Modifications Manual – Suspension and Ride Height” document late last month, which shows the change in NSW rules to allow ride height to be increased over factory settings by 75mm; comprising 50mm suspension lift (already approved in NSW) and a 25mm wheel/tyre height increase without requiring certification.
The 25mm addition to ride height via tyre and/or rim size increase equates to a 50mm overall rolling radius increase. With larger-diameter tyres fitted, speedometer and odometer would be incorrect and so modifications would be required to make the them read more accurately again.
The NSW change follows Queensland and Victoria, which approved the 25mm tyre lift in addition to a 50mm suspension lift in 2012.
