Hi all,
I am looking at lifting my 150 gxl prado up t30mm and adding some new tyres at the same time(265-70-17) from standard (265-65-17), this should give me a total lift of approx 55mm with the increase in tyre size. Under the new modification requirement for Queensland VSB14 code of practice a lift not exceeding 75mm including 25mm increase in tyre height is legal for vehicles without ESC (electronic stability control). As 150 series comes standard with VSC (vehicle stability control) same as Esc, I have had a read through this section of the code and section LS version 2-2.6 states the following:
"For modification codes contained in this Section of VSB 14, evidence should be obtained either
from the vehicle manufacturer or through testing to determine the impact on the ESC system.
To remain within the scope of this Section of VSB 14, a vehicle fitted with ESC must not be
modified if the operation of the ESC is affected unless the ESC system is adjusted accordingly"
Has any one had any experience with this, and be able to comply?
cheers Chris
