I'm in pa too, yes 30" is the rule for front and back. It is measured at the bottom of the main structural cross bar- meaning you cant count bumper gaurds, drop hitches, or the like. (fyi: if its lowered you can measure from the top of the bumper which is either 16" or 17" I forget). Don't know what my exact mesurments were at the time, but my 78 F-150 4x4 had a 6" suspension lift, and 35" tires and was still plenty legal. If you have a F-250 or higher chances are it sits higher than mine though. I did not see what yours is. I hear federal standards go off of the headlight height, but I don't know the details on that. Good luck with the truck, its gotta be a fun high school ride!
