BLHTAZ Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 http://www.roughcountry.com/lift_laws.htmlAccording to that it would be 3" lift for MA.. Their formula says that a 2" lift and 2" larger tires = 4" total lift over stock ... someone needs to educate them a little on that. A 2" lift & 2" larger tire would = 3" total lift over stock...

89eliminator Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 but, depending on the height of lift your going with, MJ's don't look that high when lifted. I'm lifted 6.5in with 33s and its about the height of a stock fullsize truck. i would think that you could get away with pretty much any reasonable lift (i.e. 8in or lower) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjcrazy09 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 OK, so i have made my decision. After reviewing all 50 states lift laws, the only state in the country that will allow anything is Kentucky. So I'm moving to Kentucky :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy in Maine Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well this will get you started..... From 540 CMR 4.04 (13) Altered Vehicle Heights. The original manufacturers specified height of motor vehicles with an original manufacturers gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less shall not be altered by elevating or lowering the chassis or body by more than two inches, except that four-wheel drive motor vehicles with a original manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less may be altered in accordance with the provisions of 540 CMR 6.00. The Registrar may periodically provide approved altered vehicle height specifications for said four-wheel drive vehicles. Any motor vehicle altered, modified, or changed beyond the aforementioned two inches, or the Registrar's approved altered height specifications, shall be rejected.

You're not looking at the formula, you're looking at an example. The formula is wheelbase x track / 2200. The example says it might be possible under that formula to qualify a 4" lift of which 2" comes from the body/suspension lift and 2" comes from larger tires.

A 3" lift by their formula would be a 2" lift and 2" larger tires unless I am just completely not getting what they are saying. I'm seeing this... LWB - 120 x 58 / 2200 = 3.16" SWB - 113 x 58 / 2200 = 2.97" So no matter if it is short or long bed...3" is the MA limit according to that formula. Now...how often is it likely that they are going to get out there and actually figure out what "stock height" is and check to see if you are within spec?? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
