Not in the US but it's relevant to those Downunder.... I spoke to an engineer on Wed about getting my lift an engineering certificate. He told me that the new law (not yet passed) will be a max of 50mm lift. Kind of no point in getting a lift if that's what they’re doing, you will also require a certificate for a 50mm lift
I have been following this on the Aussy site as well, so what all is invovled in getting an engineering certificate? What do they do or look at
About 7 to $800 bucks to start with (calculated on a hourly rate $175 ph), I'm not 100% sure of everything they will do. I've been told they will want to drive it at 100 kpm (60mph) through a witches hat course. The need the front end weight, rear end weight and a complete weight. So I have to take it to a public weight station and get a report, I'd say they will check it to the stock weights and see how it will be/compare in relation to breaking ..... not sure. They will also check the difference between the stock lift and my current/new lift. Lucky for me I've enlarged my tyre track so that will help, but I'm not sure if they will like the 265/70/16. The probably will prefer a 245/75/16 but I will have to wait and see on that too. They will check to see if the wheels come into contact with any part of the car (a big no no), level ground I'm all good but full stuff the front and I get contact. I'd say it will just be in relation to black top driving, so I'm thinking I will be fine. They also check all the part in the steering to see if they are still going to work and not at any angle's that will cause something to pop off or break due to extreme lift etc.
After they give me the OK, they put a new plate on the car stating all my mods and that they are OK to run. I then need a new blue slip and have to reregister the car. That's all I know for now, I will let you know what happen's after the day.
