Code 7

Cal. has the height law but you see trucks jacked so high it takes a step ladder to get in 'em. I've seen 110 lb. 5 ft.2 gals driving lifted Super Duty's so high that the rocker panel is at head height. It's absurd. The idea is so that if you were hit by one of these skyscrapers that you weren't eating his bumper in your normal height vehicle. There was a story in the paper a short while back about a Lifted Super Duty that ran over a kid in the crosswalk and didn't see him (couldn't see the road for 75 ft. in front of it). And the cops didn't even ticket him for height. Don't know why the laws are on the books, they never pay any attention to 'em.

only like 5 cities in georgia even do the yearly inspection, but idk how they can limit us to two inches of lift period, i could understand body lift but not all together, does anyone know what the law is for sure?

Does the Law really state "don't be surprised if you're cited" Pull the real law and lets look it over.
