Just get longer springs? For 80mm lift you will likely need new shocks aswell

Pretty sure over 50mm requires cert. 

I don't want to spend any money, I fitted front shocks from a Land Cruiser so they are plenty long and when fully compressed they were the same length as the stock shocks compressed

Spring lift doesn't require cert.

Unless wof guy thinks he's above the rules

Woah, sorry seems they've just changed the wording.

Damn now I guess I'm up for cert

Generally you get away with bigger lifts if it's done right and your not a fuckwit 

Also friendly wof places help

Depends who you get at the place too. 

Used to fail, show them old lvv Threshold sheet, pass.

Last guy I had would not let it go, eventually had to resort to "oh I'll give it to you this time, but next time...."

No rust repairs there Clint, its clean on that side of things

Yes, its getting all sorted at the shop.

Well basically it has a minor dent in the cross member from coming into contact with a tow ball.

Prior to the damage taking place the whole chassis had been cleaned up and painted.

Any further input or similar experiences to share?

Thanks

If it was me, if it hasn't had other repairs that would need repair cert, and it hasn't got a whole bunch of fresh underseal and paint etc I'd just send it through compliance and see what they say 

A letter from the panelbeater wouldn't achieve anything, if anything you could pay a repair certifier to write you up something saying it doesnt require it

Yes now that I re read it it doesn't seem vague, in fact it could be interpreted as being incredibly specific. 

What constitutes direct replacement?

Aftermarket shocks?

Aftermarket shocks that are "OEM replacement"? How do you prove that they are? 

OEM shocks?

I mean if you really get specific then only the actual shocks that are removed from the vehicle are direct replacement for those shocks.

I feel that you can clarify all you like, but this is the threshold sheet, it's not up to you. It's up to the wof testers, and they interpret these things in an incredibly broad spectrum.

If it bolts in without needing any modifications then it would be a direct replacement?

/technically if you're nit picking, all springs need to be cut and heated by the manufacturer, so that line should really state something along the lines of "replacement springs have not been heated or cut after initial manufacturing"
