Found this site that covers some state lift laws.

Thought it might be useful.

im already illegal in my state and plan on lifting it more, no one really enforces those laws

blazerboy72 · 03-10-2003, 06:34 PM

i can only go another 1/2 inch and mine will be illegal

and mines stock. oh well im not sending the 8" lift and 38's back now

That is some very useful info, so we know what we have to argue with when we get pulled over, Thanks.

Blazerboy72: That is exactly what I hope to go for on my truck down the road some, maybe just little 'ol 37s instead. Where did you get the lift and tires? Money of course is always a factor and I am just curious what I am getting myself into, even though I have a pretty good idea already.

WOOT WOOT!!!

Not a damn lift law in Nebraska.
Same with emissions testing.

Man, I love this state!!!

(No emissions tests means I don't get in trouble for running true duals w/ full length headers and w/o cats or smog pump on my monte!!!)

Blazerboy72,

Where did you get your 38's and at what price? (if you don't mind)

GreenMystChevy,

I will be moving to North Carolina (NO LIFT LAWS or so the web site says) and I wanted to know the lift laws and found this site. I thought alot of guys could use the info. It was updated as of Feb 03.

Hope people can use it.

blazerboy72 · 03-11-2003, 07:19 AM

I got my 38.5 groundhawgs from my dads friend for $200 and the lift is an 8" skyjacker from 4 wheel parts wholesalers and it was 454.96 i cant wait to get all this stuff put on

GreenMystChevy · 03-11-2003, 12:15 PM

Blazerboy72,

Well, what are you waiting for! Get your dad's friend to send oh, about 4 38's this way for $200. I'll even pay $100 more for your trouble. LOL
8' Skyjacker for under $500. Hmm, sounds tempting. Thanks for the info.

Ryan Flowers · 03-11-2003, 12:30 PM

Blazerboy72,

Is that 8" Lift the "Kit (with blocks)" or "System (with rear Springs)" for $455............?

Thanks,

blazerboy72 · 03-11-2003, 05:33 PM

The lift is the kit with the blocks. i would like to have the rear springs but this is my graduation present and have already got a 14 bolt , 38's, 8 lug dana 44, 4 wheels, and everything else for the lift so i figured i probably shouldn't ask for a system too. i will probably do a shackle flip later for the rear.
