So whats the problem if it not on then its not on. There are rules for a reason . As said some of these Bozos have really no idea what they are doing when they muck about with their rigs . If that keeps the rest of us safe & them to ,,, well
But does it always?? Lets throw everyone in the same bag?
We had the people from Top Performance come to our club last night and give a presentation on suspension, and the "new laws (NCOP)" if they ever come out. One state turned around and said "No lifting 4wds at all" The panic button was hit by suspension companies.
This is one reason NCOP got brought to the top of the "it may happen sometime in next 100 yrs" although many engineers and companies are already going off it... Top Performance and the other companies (ARB, TJM, Lovells etc etc) in the industry proved they could improve the handling over factory of certain 4wds in testing. So not every modification makes it worse. I've had a 2-3-4-and 7in lifted patrol, if done properly they can handle as good as factory at any height - the issue is most kids dont want to spend the money to do it properly. To these people, looks are more important safety is not. Those ones I have no issue with taking them off the road.
But the average 4wd with 3inch lift (patrol Im talkin bout), 33/35's is not really an issue. Theres far worse Shitheaps on the road that they should/could target but dont for some reason - its like Harleys with noise... they hound every jap bike with an aftermarket pipe, in the years I worked in bike shops and the industry, I'd never once heard of a Harley getting nailed for noise.
