FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is a Body Lift Kit Legal in Australia?

Body lift kit regulations vary between Australian states and territories. In many cases, a 50mm (2-inch) body lift can be legally fitted when installed correctly, however engineering certification or modification approval may be required depending on your vehicle and location. We recommend checking your local regulations before installation to ensure compliance with current road laws.

Does a Body Lift Affect Ride Quality?

A body lift does not alter the vehicle's suspension, so ride quality generally remains unchanged. Unlike a suspension lift, a body lift raises the body away from the chassis while retaining the factory springs, shocks, and suspension geometry.

What Tyre Size Can I Fit with a 2" Body Lift?

A 2" body lift provides additional clearance for larger tyre sizes by creating more space within the wheel arches. Suitable tyre sizes can vary depending on your vehicle, wheel offset, suspension setup, and other modifications. For advice specific to your vehicle, contact our team for recommendations.

Can I Install a Body Lift at Home?

A body lift kit can be installed at home by experienced DIY enthusiasts with the appropriate tools and mechanical knowledge. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety, and compliance. 

Do I Need an Engineer's Certificate?

Engineering and certification requirements vary between Australian states and territories. Depending on your vehicle and the modifications fitted, an engineer's certificate or modification approval may be required. We recommend checking your local regulations before installation to ensure compliance.

Does a Body Lift Affect Towing?

A body lift does not increase your vehicle's towing capacity, which remains as specified by the manufacturer. When installed correctly, a body lift has minimal impact on towing performance, however any vehicle modifications should be inspected regularly.

What's Included in a VMN Body Lift Kit?

Contents vary depending on the vehicle model and application. Each VMN kit is designed to include the components required for a clean and straightforward installation.

What's the Difference Between a Body Lift and a Suspension Lift?

A body lift raises the vehicle body away from the chassis using body blocks, creating additional clearance without changing the suspension or ride quality. A suspension lift raises the entire vehicle by modifying the suspension system, increasing ground clearance but potentially affecting ride characteristics. Both options have their benefits depending on your intended use and vehicle setup.
