      First and foremost: just how tall will these get before they can’t get any larger?

        @Just-Jeepin They'll need to put in height laws. They're already at teh legal limit for width.

          @Just-Jeepin I mean, valid argument but not a great example. That one is very obviously lifted from factory, and what's more appears to have that dumbfuck Carolina squat going on.

            @WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 Lots of states already do have limits for height, in various forms, but almost never enforced.

              anything in bc over 10cm is illegal. technically any lift should be inspected and approved by a government inspector

                  I meant from the factory. I think a lot of places have laws on lift kits and never enforce them.

                      that's probably why the 4" lift is so popular, but why settle for 4" when you can have 6"?

                        There should definitely be a lowered Jeep.

                        In other news, all suspension lifts greater than 50 cm (2") over the factory settings require independent engineering approval and certification in most Australian states. It's not difficult or prohibitively expensive to get done but it's far from convenient given that such engineers are few and far between. As a result, such lifts are becoming quite rare.

                        Take the hard road and walk it. Because hedges aren't as soft as they look.

                          @Just-Jeepin Those are 37x13.50 tires and they look tiny. Stock size is probably ~33x11 (275/70/18) for comparison.

                          Can't see the back, but based on the look it's probably a 7" lift. Here's full truck that I found:

                          a8758289-e226-4970-97ff-1bd68b6fcb38-image.png

                          In theory, a stock height pickup meets crash standards for other stock height vehicles. The problem is when you move the impact point 9" higher. For an extreme example, somebody in a lowered Miata would be decapitated after getting rear-ended by that truck.

                          The driver of the truck would be fine though.

                                @Nauraushaun They are everywhere where I live in MT. I got a "truck" so I would be more at their level but it's still not high enough. I think I need to start driving around a 4wd boom lift. 3421e622-5603-44c5-b3e6-a8f3f1b3da98-image.png

                                                      So it is!

                                                      As for the lift...if it's 50 mm or less then it doesn't need compliance. If it's over it does. If a dealership can't organise compliance on a brand new vehicle then that's a problem!!

                                                      Take the hard road and walk it. Because hedges aren't as soft as they look.
