Here are the lift laws (by state), provided by truckworld.com. http://www.truckworld.com/How-To-Tech/97-lift-laws/lift-laws.html
I was surprized to see Colorado's "No Lift Allowed". I hear of so many good places to wheel there and some bad ass trucks coming from there too. Some of these are just a little too stiff. I had a Volkeswagon Baja that exceded Warshingtons lift limit. I mean come awn...:rolleyes: Then theres Utah, (48"). Thats more like it. Anyhow I just thought some of these #'s were interesting.

Thats not correct info...Utah has a New lift law (as of May of last year) the states :
If your vehicles GVWR is under 4500 lbs, then your max. height from level ground to the main part of your frame, (the long section , not the crossmember's you hoser's) is no more than 24 inch's.

If your vehicles GVWR is more than 4500 lbs. but less than 7500 lbs., then this max. height is 26 inch's.

If your vehicles GVWR is more than 7500 lbs., then this max. height is 28 inch's from ground to frame.


Still pretty good and means you can run half decent meats and still be legal:D

WA as lift Laws................Dammmmmm..........Someone beter tell all the trucks around here!!!!!! Naaaaaa F'em Hell I would venture guess some of the 4x4 rigs the Patrolers use infringe on that law hahahahaha :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

It's unlikely you'll get a ticket as long as your plates and vehical are legal in the state you are are visiting from. If you are ticketed, fight it.

I found this in the Colorado Statutes. Does anybody know if the last section "Unconstitutional" is an "old" ruling or an effective cancellation of the statute.

42-4-233 - Alteration of suspension system.

(1) No person shall operate a motor vehicle of a type required to be registered under the laws of this state upon a public highway with either the rear or front suspension system altered or changed from the manufacturer's original design except in accordance with specifications permitting such alteration established by the department. Nothing contained in this section shall prevent the installation of manufactured heavy duty equipment to include shock absorbers and overload springs, nor shall anything contained in this section prevent a person from operating a motor vehicle on a public highway with normal wear of the suspension system if normal wear shall not affect the control of the vehicle.
(2) This section shall not apply to motor vehicles designed or modified primarily for off-highway racing purposes, and such motor vehicles may be lawfully towed on the highways of this state.

(3) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.

Section unconstitutional. This section's flat prohibition against any motor vehicle suspension system alteration, except the installation of heavy duty shock absorbers or springs, is unconstitutionally overbroad. People v. Von Tersch, 180 Colo. 295, 505 P.2d 5 (1973) (decided prior to 1975 amendment).

They did say "to the best of thier knowledge" and gave an e-mail at the top to submit corrections too. Sounds like Utah laws are a little closer to what Warshington ones are. I had a Toyota on 33" tires with 4" lift and the front bumper was 28" and the rear was 30". It wasn't THAT tall. My current Jeep abides by the law but thats only cause I have not done the SOA yet. A lot of times we wheel in Oregon though, and they don't seem to have a law, or none was found by the website. Anyone current on this?
