Is it legal to lift your 4WD or ute in Australia?

AutoExec Summary
Many vehicle owners are choosing to fit their four-wheel drive vehicles with lift kits for better off-road ability. Some brands now offer factory-backed lift kits as accessories for new utes and SUVs to avoid voiding warranties. However, any lift over 50mm requires certification under the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification. Body lifts are simpler and cheaper but don’t offer adjustable height, while suspension lifts provide greater ground clearance and adjustability. Adding larger tyres can also lift the vehicle. It’s important to consider these factors to avoid driving an unroadworthy vehicle and potential defects.
