I keep reading this quote on a bunch of sites:
From talking to some guys that do inspections, a few cops, and random guys, most times the rule that I hear in my area is that the bottom of your bumpers can't be more than 30 inches off the ground. I've never actually checked out the written laws though.
I do know that there is a law about how close the frame of your vehicle can be to the ground (an issue if you lower your car) and supposedly there is the flipside of that law where your frame can't be more than a certain distance off the ground (I've read the one pertaining to lowering, but haven't ever seen the one for lifts...it may just be BS).
I know a few people with trucks that lifted high enough that they had to find ways around the bumpers being too high. Tacking an extention onto the bottom of your bumper can give you more room to lift, and some guys will put their stock tires back on for inspection.
I'm not sure where this info originated, though. I've seen this same paragraph on at least 4 different sites now...the web said:
