Your rear bumper will most likely be over 28" with that combo.
8" will be an 8" increase
37s will be approx 2" increase (depending on which stock tires you had on your 05).
Total of approx. 10" over stock.

Don't know if they'd count the hitch.....I suppose you could try and argue it.
But yeah, the 10" would be in the front....probably 8" increase in the rear.
Give me a minute and I'll measure my 01 that has a 8.5" lift and 38s.

You can get extended length SS lines to swap in, no cutting or relocating if you go that route.

In maryland you're also not required to have a rear bumper. If you still have the blocker beam, that is where the height measurement would come from, which is a pretty low point on the front.. I'll have to look up the code, but from what I hear, most Troopers enforce the headlight law, which states you can't be over 54" to the center of the headlight.

More than I thougt
I guess I am asking more than I bargained for in an 8 inch lift. I guess I should look at a 6. What size of tires and wheels would be good for a 6. How about regearing? There wouldn't be a need for the SS lines or cutting required right for the 6" lift?
Thanks for all the help
