australian restrictions

Man I thought the government was strict here in the uk, but I found this australian article while browsing off road sites - no lifts over 5cm!

yeah - you could pretty much get a 5cm lift by just puting more air in your tyres!. Bureaucracy gone mad.

I'm pretty sure this is only for cars not trucks. That wouldn't make any sense if you can't lift your truck and you live in the outback.

If it's for all vehicles the government is retarded.

So stupid. What do you think the actual purpose of lowering a car is? Improving cornering by lowering the center of gravity! lrn2physics, Aussie Government.
