Very true. My concern is that the state lawmakers would use simple language stating ride hight must remain stock. Unintended consequences would make any 911 at euro ride hight illegal.

It's also true that I see no purpose whatsoever with 12 inch lifts. That's not for off-road use, that's for bragging rights ony ("I'm a bigger idiot than you!"). I do have a Jeep that has been lifted 2.5 inches, and with the 33" tires, sits about 4 inches taller than stock. The wider track more than compensates for the added height, and it is far more stable than the old leaf-sprung Jeep I used to have with 31" tires. I'm amazed at the difference between the 31 and 33 inch tires when off-road.

So I guess when I think lifted, I'm thinking of moderate lifts for off-roading. Not the useless monster truck type lifts.
