NIIICCEEE heres my 81 waitin 4 her lift n tires ha cant wait

 

1986 4x4 supposed rebuilt 302 4 speed manual trans 6 inch suspension lift 3 inch body lift 36" tires, just got it legal yesterday now gotta learn how to drive a stick good

 

And gotta get to pass inspection. It apparently failed for being 3" too high plus other minor things

 

Could I essentially switch tires with smaller whch would lower it and pass inspection?

 

That is possible. What size are the current tires? In the pics, they appear to be in the 33-36" range. If they're 36", dropping to a 30" would net 3" lower. In order to drop 3" in ride height, you need to drop 6" in tire diameter.

 

Read up. There 36". (informative , not bring a dick) so yes that should work. My buddy has 30" tires so.

 

I really like that truck.

 

I didn't scroll back up to see if you listed the size, didn't figure I needed to know, as long as you did.
Yeah, 30" tires *should* drop it 3" overall. The inspector will likely know you're just trying to get around the limit, but typically they can't do anything about it. The cop down road, after you put your tires back on, *may* be able to do something about it though......

 

Lol true. How hard is it to take out the 3" body lift . If can't get tires. ......

 

Well, I'm not sure what all would be involved with taking out the body lift, but it's not a quick easy task.
Just for reference, you said it's 3" too high to pass. What item do they use as a baseline for the hieght rule? Bumper or headlight, or some other point on the vehicle?
