if you are running under 5" of lift with suspension and tires mechanically everything is sound, i.e. ball joints, e brake, lights, and check engine light then you should be fine at most places. When they check your height make sure you have documentation from the state (can be found online) stating the rules because most shop do not know it or are very conservative when it comes to it. (wheel base/wheel width)/2000 + 1 inch for manufacturing tolerances and round that up to the nearest whole number and that is the max height from the ground to the the door line you can go over stock

theres a difference between saying a "jeep friendly place" and THEY WILL PASS YOU NO MATTER WHAT" lol

Still best to not name names.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, or yell his place of business from the proverbial rooftops.

you're a nerd, and rob's the man. THAT'S WHY

Yeah, naming names is a good way to get a DOT guy sent to an inspection station.

That's wrong sheep. From what I have read it's wheelbase x track / 2200 = max amount of mechanical modifications allowed to the vehicles suspension, either lifting or lowering it. So for an XJ it's 101.4 x 60 /2200 = 2.76" maximum. Also, the amount of lift gained from the tires cannot exceed that number for the vehicle. Cherokees came with 28's, Mike will be running 35's, so 35 -28 = 7, divide by 2 because only half of the wheel/tire is below axle centerline and BOOM, you get 3.5" from the tires.


EDIT: This is MA law, other states are different obviously. It used to be a bumper height restriction, but people were building ridiculous bumpers and slapping on tiny tires just to pass inspection, so they switched it up to the formula above.

:thumbup: I think this was my last time getting a sticker.....

Why not just put a "permanent" panel on the bottom of the door to lower the reference point?

I'm sure you could try it, but most inspection employees have their jobs on the line in doing responsible inspections. Something as obvious as sheet metal riveted to the rockers isn't going to cut it.

If your jeep is moderately lifted and doesnt look like a rat I'm sure you could find a station. Otherwise, you're going to need to have connections.

It's above the highest stock suspension (upcountry in our case, which you can claim is anything up to 2" without anyone really giving you shit for it) or below the lowest stock suspension, so you have a little more wiggle room to argue. And as long as you aren't a dick and your jeep isn't a haggard pile of crap, they just eyeball it and go "looks reasonable not gonna bother measuring" and pass you. Otherwise, you're 100% correct.

What I'm saying is that I have absolutely no idea why the station I went to passed my MJ.
