Pictures please. That beast must be huge! I have a buddy who got pulled over in Michigan running 40's on a 1989 GMC. I know that Michigan is mandated by DOT laws based on bumper height and frame height depending on GVWR. He received a fix-it ticket meaning that the vehicle needed to be repaired before being allowed back on the road. I think he just took the body lift off. Again, this was Michigan. I had a list of all the states' laws. There are a few select states where the sky is the limit. Wouldn't that be nice!?

I'm in NJ and we have a altered height inspection station here that any truck over stock height has to go through. I have the skyjacker 7" long arm kit and a 3" body on mine and I get hassled by cops nearly every day. Our law states that tires also can't stick out past the fenders and mine stick out almost 5", no flare made will cover it so I cam kinda screwed. I need to get different rims with more backspace to pull the tires under the fenders more before I can even think about going o the tilt table inspection center. NJ sucks[:@]

no, just got 35's for now, but they look like I'm running donuts under there...lol. I'm upgrading to 37's or 38's in a few weeks, but I need rims first.
