Legal Lifted Limit
« on: May 30, 2010, 11:10:04 PM »
So this monstrous truck was behind me at a light in Langley today (see pic below), and the bottom of his bumper could almost go over the back of my truck, and I know a few guys on here have lifted trucks, so I was curious what the laws are on how high you can lift a truck?  I'm sure if he t-boned somebody, his bumper would be in the side of their head haha.  I've seen modified F350's with their headlights mounted in the bumper to stay legal, but those were in truck mags, so I assume that's american laws.  I thought there was a limit to how high your bumper could be off the ground too?  Anyways, just a thought  :poke2:

Is that 10 inches total? or 10 inches of suspension/body lift? Tires can add alot of lift too
