For all vehicles with a total weight of 10,000 pounds or less, you cannot lift the chassis or body more than 4 inches from the height of the original equipment. You cannot lift the body more than 3 inches from the chassis. In terms of bumper height, a GVWR of 4,500 pounds or less and your front bumper can`t exceed 24 inches and the rear can`t exceed 26 inches. Total weights between 4,501 and 7,500 mean 27 inches at the front and 29 inches at the back. Finally, if your truck is between 7,501 and 9,000, the change allowed is 28 and 30 inches. Not all commercial vehicles and trucks from the 90s and newer can go crazy and make that bumper take off more than 24 inches off the ground. Also remember that headlights should not be more than 54 inches above cement and taillights should not exceed 72 inches. Turn signals must not exceed 83 inches. Short and soft, without legal eagle hocus-pous: Do not let more than 30 inches enter between the bottom and bottom of the bumper. Here is another condition that uses GVWR as a guideline for bumper height. For vehicles 4,500 pounds or smaller, the front bumper must not exceed 24 inches and the rear bumper must not exceed 26 inches. For 4,501 to 7,500 pounds, it`s 27 inches in the front and 29 inches in the back, and for 7,501 to 9,000 pounds, it`s 28 and 30 inches.
« Drivers need to understand the hefty fines they face for driving a vehicle lifted with illegal bumpers, » said Jeff Mohr, President of Mohr Manufacturing. « The cost of a quote or an accident can far exceed the purchase price of a SUPERBUMPER. Most importantly, a SUPERBUMPER keeps other drivers, your family, your vehicle and your insurance safe. The largest space you can have between the body and the frame is 3 inches, while the acceptable distance between the bumpers and the floor is 31 inches for a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less or less. More weight than that, you are free and clear. We`ve been told that Iowa has lifted the requirements for high-end 4x4s. For now, this means that the general size, weight, and width requirements that apply to all other vehicles in the state apply to your quartet. Translation: The height must not exceed 13 feet 6 inches and the width must not exceed 8 feet. (a) Notwithstanding the restrictions set out in subsection 3, the bumpers required under this section shall not exceed a height of (1) 20 inches for passenger or station wagons or (2) 25 inches for multi-purpose four-wheel drive vehicles, vans within the meaning of section 168.002 Paragraph 40 or pickup trucks within the meaning of section 168.002. Subdivision 26 if the vehicle is travelling on a public highway. The height of the bumper shall be determined by measuring from the underside of the bumper without vertical attachment of the bumper to the ground. A vehicle with an original bumper no higher than 30 inches can be modified by attaching a full-width bumper to the normal bumper to meet the height requirement.
The mounted bumper shall have a vertical height of at least 4.5 inches, be centred on the axis of the vehicle, extend at least ten inches on both sides of the frame and be attached to the frame at least four places with angular spacers of at least 45 degrees so as to transmit the impact effectively to an extent equal to or greater than that of the original bumper. The laws are about lighting, but not the height of the bumper or even the lifting blocks. Headlights should be between 24 and 54 inches above the ground, taillights between 15 and 72 and fog lights between 12 and 30. Don`t even think about driving on these highways if there are more than 28 inches between the bumpers and the road if your truck falls into the 4,500-pound GVWR rating. For 4,501 to 7,500 pounds, the front bumper should remain less than 29 inches and the rear 30 inches; For 7,501 to 15,000 pounds, it`s 30 at the front and 31 at the rear. There is no law regulating suspension improvements, but there is a law that limits the height of headlights. They must not be less than 24 inches or more than 54 inches above the ground. However, the overall height restriction is 13 feet 6 inches without permission, limiting any dreams you just had. California law in Wisconsin states that vehicles with a GVWR of 8,000 pounds can be pushed 5 inches above the height of the original equipment, and tires can be increased up to 4 inches in radius above factory size, which is an acceptable 9-inch stroke. If your truck`s net weight is less than 2,000 pounds, the maximum bumper height is 24 inches at the front and 26 inches at the rear. If there are more than 2,000 but less than 3,000, there are 27 in the front and 29 in the back. And if it reaches the balance between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds, it`s 28 and 30 inches.
All passenger cars must be equipped with front and rear bumpers, except that vans and vans must be equipped with front bumpers and rear bumpers or reflectors. GVWR monitors this condition for bumper height. For 4,500 pounds and under, 24 inches is the maximum at the front, 26 at the rear and 4,501 at 7,500 is 27 at 29, and for 7,501 at 10,000, it`s 28 and 31 inches. If the height of the body or loading area is changed, the difference in height between the body floor and/or the body floor and the top of the frame rail shall not exceed 4 inches. You can lift your truck in Washington without fear, as long as the kit is manufactured by a replacement company and is designed and properly installed for your truck make and model.

The height of the vehicle (and we also talk about loaded) can be greater than 13 feet 6 inches.
