maximum bumber height? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

'89Z71 · 07-16-2003, 12:39 AM

I know this has been asked before, but what is the max bumper height for Wisconsin? I found this site http://www.truckworld.com/How-To-Tec...lift-laws.html
and for Wisconsin and bumper height there is a N/A, so does that mean WI doesnt have a limit? Any help would be great! Thanx in advance, DK

customtruckshowcase used to have a list of all the states but not sure if they do anymore. You could call the state and ask them.

all states have differant ways of measing lift like in my state it is now by frame height and has no requirements on bumper height. Call your state and ask them or search their website.

From my own experience, most of those sites are out dated. The law tends to change pretty fast and with little notice, you're best off to call the authorities.

You could do a big burnout in front of the Highway Patrol then when he gets up to your window say I'm glad you stopped for I have a question for you!!!

well i called the town cops and they didnt know anything so i turned to the state boys and they said there are only limits on cars and that i should call my Gm dealer and find out what they recomend for lift on trucks. I really dont think anyone really knows. I'm going to call the county tomorrow and mayb they will know or point me in the right direction. Thanx for everyones help so far!

heck man dont push it. Sounds like they dont even have a lift law there...........

'89Z71 · 07-17-2003, 12:52 AM

Thats what i was thinking. Why bother if no one really knows

I just didnt want any surprises after I lift my truck.

Mudder · 07-17-2003, 12:54 AM

Does others have theirs lifted?

'89Z71 · 07-17-2003, 12:56 AM

This may sound dumb but there are alot of lifted trucks around my area. I just wanted to triple-check(my luck I would get pulled over)

On truckworld it said: 5" on suspension and 4" over on radius for the tires, there are no body lift law. Sounds like you have limits there. If your tires were stock at 31", you can only go up to 35" tires.

Act now think later since it applies to the law, always been my philosophy when dealing with the men in blue. Just remember nine times out of ten your smarter than they are
