depends on where in illinois you are in. i'm on the south-side of chicago (go sox) and there are plenty of lifted trucks around here. in fact, the south-side was the home of god-mudders, you should have seen the things they did. they had a spot at the world of wheels a couple years back. its been done before, drop the bumpers to stock height and it may help. as far as tint, mine are limo all around except the windshield, coppers hate that so i roll 'em down when i see a smokey!
