na i'm gonna drive it to work every day with 16.67 gears, and V tread loader tires

but i got antique plates and insurance still on it but that is pretty much so it can sit in my front yard and keep the codes and compliance off my ass . . . only costs me like 70 bucks a year to keep it (tags for life)

Gotcha, you must have a hookup on an inspection.

I would have figured you would have gotten truck plates with as high as it is going to sit now. You have to be like 18" over the legal height. lol

I think it's like 47 to the frame? can't remember measured it before . . . and antique I don't have to get it insepcted
but yeah if i even pulled it out on the street to go to 7-11 (which is 2 blocks threw my neighborhood and no main roads) i'd probably get a ticket long as the truck is high

Don't even think about driving on these highways if there are more than 28 inches between the bumpers and the road if your truck falls in the 4,500-pound GVWR rating. For 4,501 to 7,500 pounds, the front bumper must stay lower than 29 inches and the rear 30 inches; for 7,501 and 15,000 pounds, it's 30 at the front and 31 at the rear.

So yeah.. you're probably a good 18"+ over the legal limit. I'd be scared to drive that thing... it's asking to be pulled over.

given i have about a 10 or 12 inch wide rear bumper and it was like 26 inches to the bottom lol
he had pulled me over cuz my offroad lights (all 11 of em) were not covered . . and he was like 5 feet nothing tall and couldn't see over the door into the window so was trying to give me a hard time l . . but was legal then . . . front had stock pumper and was like 28 inches
