Modifying the factory bumper height is OK, as long as you keep it at 30 inches from the ground, or lift the vehicle no more than 4 inches.

From this website, which says it is out of date and contact your local authorities to be sure.

EDIT: It's usually more bumper/headlight height that's the issue than actual lift.

In most states you can file for an exemption to those laws. In NC you can just declare it as a) a farm truck (xl) or b) a 'mixed use' vehicle. As long you use it offroad, that neccessitates a need for the lift, and ya gotta go on the road to get to your need

Just call the highway patrol office. They can tell ya!

it differs by state law. Mostly what they are concerned about is headlight beam height and the amount of rubber sticking out past the body..

We're still too southern apparently...no fender laws or headlight issues

yea... what I find in most southern states (with the exception of virginia) is that there are laws that just arent enforced...lol Kentucky has a crap load of vehicle modification laws, they just arent enforced... lots of people running around with straight pipes and 44" boggers on the street...... but true, most southern states are either very loose or have no restrictions..
