It is strictly regulated.
Colombia’s traffic authority, Agencia Nacional de Seguridad Vial (ANSV), prohibits lift kits exceeding 6 inches without homologation. Modifications must comply with Decreto 1077 de 2015 and Resolución 2270 de 2021, which mandate technical inspections by INVÍAS for structural safety. Non-compliant vehicles face fines up to 15 SMLMV and mandatory reversion to factory specs.
Key Regulations for Lift Kits Over 6 Inches in Colombia
- Homologation Requirement: Lift kits must be certified by the Ministerio de Transporte or an accredited entity under Resolución 2270 de 2021. Uncertified kits are illegal, with enforcement tightening in 2026 via Plan Nacional de Seguridad Vial.
- Height Limits: Maximum legal suspension height is 6 inches (15.24 cm) for passenger vehicles. Exceeding this triggers INVÍAS technical reviews, risking vehicle registration suspension.
- Inspection Obligations: Post-modification, vehicles require Certificado de Revisión Técnico Mecánica from an INVÍAS-authorized center. Non-compliance voids insurance coverage per Ley 1811 de 2016.
