As Maine lift laws don't allow disconnecting the original suspension, what would be the easiest way to get a 1-2" lift so as it's not that noticable? I thought changing the leaf springs front and rear could do it? Also, tire size has to be stock or no more than one size larger on the same rim. Kinda screwed any way I look at it.
I think I'll take the 6 inch lift that's on the truck now and lower it to stock, then go an inch or two lift after inspection. Cops don't react as much to a small lift as they do a 6 inch around here.
 
easist way is a zero rate front and back good for 1"
or do a rancho add a leaf for 2" but will ride stiffer.
 
like 55willy said the zero rates front and rear will get ya the 1'' of lift. or an ord 1'' body lift with new body mounts will also give ya some lift. a little over 1'' probably.

What lift laws? Can you even fart in Maine? I thought CA was bad.:(
 
Me too... I used to live in California. Thought no where could be worse for laws. Turns out Mass and Maine are sticklers... Mass has a hard emissions rule... Maine says you can't alter original stock rim size and only go one step up or down in sizes from stock.
ABS = no mods whatsover
No blocks
Pretty much SOL if you want a nice ride.

Save your cash and buy a turn-key rock buggy with rockwells and 44s. "whaddya mean officer, that IS stock on this rig!" :grin: :thumb:
