BTV Suspension Lift Kits

These lift kits look pretty good, though I am not sure if they are legal in Australia. Come from Thailand or some place. Anybody have any info or thoughts?

7 inches is a lot of lift. Walk under sills but easy roll over
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

you would probably be better off just going with a 2 inch lift and a body lift, unless your just want it to look tough?

it drops the whole front diff down 7" or so.

ground clearance is the same as before between the front wheels.

I've come across them before on a american site They are basically just a SOA conversion in the rear with a diff drop kit for the front Actual working ground clearance is only gained by the larger tyre size (lets face it with that sort of lift 30 inch tyres would just look naff) which in turn creates extra strain on cvs, tie rods etc and also changes gear ratios Looks mean though

You all make some good points. Don't think i'll get some though, but they sure look hot
