if you want a big illegal truck you have to deal with the tickets if you drive it all the time. i average at least one ticket a month for my truck (usually no inspection ticket, $130)

I live in Texas where EVERYTHING is big and lifted. If there is a law it's not enforced. I was a Texas State Trooper for 5 yrs and there was never mention of a height law and I should know since that was my job.

Radwebster pretty much hit the nail on the head.

It all depends on the cops. I don't think any of the local cops would ever bother me for anything vehicularly related. They're happy when they don't have to see me, andthey're not going to make excuses to bother me. I know a few towns over there's a cop that likes to pick on teenagers with tinted windows and stuff like that, but that's just an excuse to sniff the car and see if they smellpot.But do keep in mindif you're going to spend a couple thousand dollars on a suspension lift wouldn't hurt to save a couple bucks for a ticket. At least mostcops (eventhe oneswith really really small penises) can appreciate a good looking vehicle and shouldn't bother you unless you are doing something else already like speeding, swerving, burning out and whatnot (not that that should stop you either )

PA law on lifted trucks 31 inches from ground to bumper.. And if PA really wants to get nasty on lifts or any lift would require a reconstruct title...

Yep, pay to play.
I haven't heard of enforcement in Colorado or Florida. Several years ago some group here in Colorado wanted a law stating you had to run the original size and type (bias, radial). It got squished.
Also, they must be sticklers in Virginia and West Virginia cause when I was out there last year, I didn't see a single lifted truck the entire week.
