Here in Maine they go by frame end height, bottom of door height, and center of headlight height. My little 150 with 6" of lift with 33s is illegal. SUCK!

Hey Brad do you make it all the way through a green light before it turns red with that thing? JK sweet truck man.

Wide tires are said to be dangerous because they could throw rocks at other drivers.

The rears are the same lenght as the stock ones but the front eye of the spring is a larger diameter, so you need to drill out your front spring hanger and use a larger SD diameter bolt.

The fronts are approx 4" longer than the stockes , which means you need to relocate the front shackle mount. It can be done by using a RSK made by SKY or ORU. Instead of bolting in where they tell you to, you just move it forward 4". But then you still need TTB drop brackets,shocks,and pitman arm
