I have a state inspection license & live in pa. There is no mention of headlight height limit in the manual, bumpers 30" rear, 28" front, measured from the bottom of the bumper. There have been no updates sent to the shop concerning bumpers or lights.

actually mark the headlight height restriction is under federal law, and my not be in your book unless the state has adopted it into there law the requirement is under fmvss #108, what I was unable to determine for sure was wether it is just for new vehicles, or any vehicles on the road but it has been in affect since 1968

You guys live right around where I'm moving in a few months, White Oak. I was curious if my truck would pass inspection out there so I'll have to get the tape out and start measuring.
How picky is the inspection process out there? We don't have anything like that in AZ. I bought my truck new in 2000 and still haven't even had to take it to get the emissions checked on it. All the state wants is my money, they could care less about anything else.

Fishmann, that would be great! I put you on my buddylist so I don't forget. I will commit to fun as soon as I finish fixing my truck up. I need a new front end, I discovered two of my mini-kin pin caps are broken and it looks like they do not sell them on JB Graveyard. I soon see a 9" or Dana 60 in my front end future.

.. way to much trafficYeah, there's a ton of traffic there but hopefully I won't be living there too long. Need to save up some cash to move further outside of town. Anyways, thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

you arn't that far from where I am from~45min, I used to live in the north east corner of Geauga county in Ohio. I'm at school in Dayton but go home at least once every month and a half, some of us in the Ohio chapter were going to go mudding up that way in the spring. If your intrested check in on the ohio page now and then, not sure when it will be but all are welcome.
