First FAWKING SEARCH there's tons of Info on this board about this.

Second TN has a similiar law.

Third how many trucks in your area do you see that easily over that limit?

I know three guys with 40"+
1(70ish Chevy on 44's and enough lift to barely rub) drives it daily no legal problems yet.
2 (97 F-250 on 40's enough lift to not rub) he was down town and backed over a car (idiot) and didn't get a ticket for height of the truck.
3 (YJ on 42's and 1-Ton full-width axle's) drives it often no problems.

I've only heard of one person getting caught and he was runnig 37's. He said the trooper looked like he was fresh on the Force.

I'm not saying to jack the truck to the sky, I'm not. I'm saying figure out what you want and don't worry about the 30" law.

Oh yeah 4" will be enough to clear 33's. Most get lift from the Lowered spring hanger's.
Search for DRM in his SIG. is link, on his site is pretty good design for a Front Spring hanger.

Just search you'll find alot

Small ass hanger no more than 1" drop...stock length shackles...very flat springs. Have fun.

just build a custom bumper after you SAS it that'll help the height requirement.

You know,

Not everywhere in PA is Eastern PA. :flipoff2:

He has a legitimate gripe.

I emailed you, hopefully that helps.

I did mine really low. About 3 1/2" suspension lift. Rest is from the tires. 37's. Here's how it sits.

I previously ran 33's with zero lift, but had a little less compression. Just a little fender trimming and hammered the seam.

I currently have about 2 1/2" cut out of the fenders all around and tubbed the firewall past the body mount.

So you can make it work easily, but I would suggest not being afraid of cutting your fenders. Also helps a lot to use springs that move the axle forward and/or redrill the perches to move it forward.

lift height

ok just to clear this up.i know several people with way over height rigs that almost never have problems.now on the other side of the spectrum ive been pulled over 6 times and measured.the only time i got to meeta cop and not measured was wen i ran up on the back of a car.cop coulda gave a shit less.most of the cops where i live are idiots they just want to right a ticket.oh yeah one more thing bout this,they measure bumper height ft and rear and headlight height.sorry bout the rant but cps around here suck.

thank you everyone that gave me info on this.btw i did search and alot of information varied from one thread to another on height.i was just trying to get some more info.thanks guys

Don't know if this helps, but here's a few measurements from mine:

Bottom of front headlights - 39"
Top of cab - 75"
Botttom of tailgate - 37.5"

Kinda rough measurements, one tire is losing air and almost empty, and it's sitting on a small sidehill.

3" body lift, 33x13.50 LTB's, All-Pro SAS hanger kit, rears up front w/rancho second leaf added, no overload & Chevy swap.
