I know this was on the site before but I couldn't seem to find it. Anyone have this link?

the only reason there are lift laws are because of jealousy

Here ya go..... http://www.truckworld.com/How-To-Tech/97-lift-laws/lift-laws.html .

That should tell you what's what and who's who in your state!

 

[Snitty]

you're in luck... here in ny, we are not limited to much at all... some sources say that SOME part of the frame has to be 30" from the ground.. and there are NO laws in the V&T that say anything about tires sticking out from the sides

Thanks, I just wanted to see what the headlight and tail light height is, I am actually registered in NY still but live in Jersey so I don't have much to worry about. thanks again

 

[Snitty]

well.. if you are registered in ny, and drive in jersey, you still have to follow jerseys laws

CT uses 4" up or down measured from the door bottoms they used to use the frame but changed to door bottoms when frame extensions came out. there also must be 4" of travel (lowrider law)CGS 14-137 25 headlights 22" to 54" tail lights 58" to 18" CGS 14-96

man... it must suck to have all those restrictions... here you can drive just about anything that has tires...

 

[Snitty]

i know my inspector.. i can pass anything

I've heard of something that allows all restrictions to be discarded if the vehicle is used in off road driving. I don't know if it's true but i head it from a reliable source.

 

[Snitty]

maybe if registered as a farm vehicle

In IL there is a distinction of vehicles used frequently offroad, it allows for a few more inches in bumper height and frame height. 4" body lift here is illegal, gotta stay under. Frame and bumper heights differ according to GVWR. I can post if anybody from IL is interested.
