Pennsylvania Lift Laws?

Anyone know if PA has any lift laws (as in max lift limits, etc.)? If so any info would be great. Installing a 6" Superlift on 35" meats and want to make sure i'll be legal. I doubt they're are any laws, though. Just want to make sure. PA is nothing like my former state, New Germany, er, I mean New Jersey.

Thanks for the link. I just went outside to measure the bumper height, front and rear, on my doner Bronco and it looks like it applies with the applicable laws. If I measured correctly, 6" suspension lift and 35" tires just squeaks by with the front bumper and makes it by a good margin in the rear.

I took a peak at NJ's laws and it appears you are only allowed a combined lift (suspension, body lift and tires, total) of 4"!! Any more than that and you have to go for a tip test. What a bunch of BS. Buddy of mine has a 4" lift in his 3500 Dodge dually but that is enough to clear 38.5s on that truck. NJ never ceases to amaze me with it's ignorance.

Again, thanks for the info.
