yea, ky is pretty sweet about laws like that... Since we dont really have them.

That shouldn't count unless the horse is also drunk.

Not in the US but it's relevant to those Downunder.... I spoke to an engineer on Wed about getting my lift an engineering certificate. He told me that the new law (not yet passed) will be a max of 50mm lift. Kind of no point in getting a lift if that's what they’re doing, you will also require a certificate for a 50mm lift :roll:

Makes up for other laws that Kintucky has, like getting a DUI while riding a horse...

Just in case anyone else is interested in seeing their state's max height requirements for a vehicle lift ... http://www.semasan.com/images/pdf/33525.pdf source: SEMA

I think it is time to start developing the 8 foot lift system for the KJ. Knowing full well that we need to keep it under 13 feet 6 inches total height. Let the photoshoping begin......

I like Nebraska's laws! You could drive GraveDigger as long as you had REALLY big mudflaps! Wyoming's is interesting. "No apparent restrictions." Just hope the officer determining whether your vehicle is in "safe working order" isn't the father of the girl that you just broke up with. Good call on stickying this one.

I would certainly vote for this being a sticky... but there is something else to take a look at. If you actually go and read your state's statutes there are a lot more regulations regarding the modification of your vehicle. While you may still meet the maximum height requirements, many states actually have laws against altering your vehicle's suspension if it results in any change in ride height. It's so common now that they don't enforce it unless it's ridiculous but just be aware that this list is not all-inclusive.

Alot of people in the hick towns of eastern ky just ride 4wheelers on the road. Saw one stopped at a red-light the other day and it kinda caught me off guard.

What do they do or look at About 7 to $800 bucks to start with (calculated on a hourly rate $175 ph), I'm not 100% sure of everything they will do. I've been told they will want to drive it at 100 kpm (60mph) through a witches hat course. The need the front end weight, rear end weight and a complete weight. So I have to take it to a public weight station and get a report, I'd say they will check it to the stock weights and see how it will be/compare in relation to breaking ..... not sure. They will also check the difference between the stock lift and my current/new lift. Lucky for me I've enlarged my tyre track so that will help, but I'm not sure if they will like the 265/70/16. The probably will prefer a 245/75/16 but I will have to wait and see on that too. They will check to see if the wheels come into contact with any part of the car (a big no no), level ground I'm all good but full stuff the front and I get contact. I'd say it will just be in relation to black top driving, so I'm thinking I will be fine. They also check all the part in the steering to see if they are still going to work and not at any angle's that will cause something to pop off or break due to extreme lift etc. After they give me the OK, they put a new plate on the car stating all my mods and that they are OK to run. I then need a new blue slip and have to reregister the car. That's all I know for now, I will let you know what happen's after the day.
