Massachusetts and Utah
Maximum Lift = Wheelbase times Wheel Track (Width), divided by 2200.

I live in mass and i doubt itl pass at a normal shop. Go to a truck repair place that does inspections. They tend to be much more leanant with lifts. Many of of friends with lifted vehicles do that.

Wow, that sucks. Says you can only have a 3" lift...

But an F-250 can have 10"? Something about that law doesn't seem fair.

Go post in your wheeling neighbor hood. You will prob have better luck there and not have people guessing for you that don't live in the state or even close to it
