Well I’m looking to see if I’ve interpreted the QLD transport guide correctly.
I’m looking at getting a T6 4 Motion to convert into a camper with the Bilstein 30mm lift…, as I am looking at putting in a side cassette lift (under the chassis) for wheelchair access. not ideal, but want a side lift so i can put a fixed bed in it.
I’m looking at max height for ground clearance. Will look at making up a 4mm aluminium bash plate for the lift.
Also Looking at upgrading to the 3.2 GVM model, due to the wheelchair lift weighing 140kg. due want to be over once I do a camper conversion.
Instead of the Factory 235/55/17 tires OD 690mm I was looking at a set of
235/65/17 697 Bridgestone Duelers OD 738mm 108 Load rated…. this would give me another 24mm hight, for a total of 54mm raise.
Had Bridgestone 697 on my Hilux. And on my CRV, they have never let me down. And it is a pain in the ass to change tires when your wheelchair bound.
Any issues… from what I read as a AWD I can lift max of 50mm and the tire size should be no more than 50mm than original, if I’ve read the QLD rules right.
Seikel make a oversized spare wheel carrier up to 235/65/R17, so keeping a same sized spare isn’t going to be an issue as I know from my WRX days, you can’t run different sized tires on AWD.
The Seikel Lift guide from their website, shows that the combo of the 30mm lift and the tires are just below the minor mod’s
The big question is how much power would I lose, due to the larger rolling diameter…? the 400TDi should help... your thoughts.
