The motor vehicle inspectors in NJ are like the Nazi's. I think they get paid commissions on every car they fail!

I didnt feel the need to go on for my first post and say" I bought this truck and it has a lift done by the previous owner and I have a question about door height" It just seemed easier to say I put a lift on and I have a ??? Seriously what difference does it make which owner paid for the lift. If you didnt rip me on my first post ex. "too late now" then this would not be going on

I had a little wheelin toy with a lift and had to run it thru the stability test in Forked River, NJ
If this passed I'm sure you will also. Although, I was freakin a little when they tilted it, but it passed. You get a certificate and need to keep it with you to show the Coppers when they pull you over.

Very true. Used to know the owner of the shop that did inspections for us on our company vehicles in MO. He did several inspections for lifted trucks we had that would not pass due to height but we were good to go.

I don't remember the exact specs and mods. Just remember seeing it on ebay a few times and thinking it was pretty nice and had some nice mods!

[Rosetti21]

I will, I wont ever post again, but this started because I asked a simple question. I hate when the know it alls get satisfaction out of belittling a newbie. If you dont want people to join, make it a private forum.
I thought it was public and you could exchange ideas and ask for advice.
I bought the truck two weeks ago from I guy I met online, I was introduced to John at Hummers Gone Wild who is doing my SC for me and he did the lift for the previous owner. I was at his shop last week and he wnt over my truck, the only thing we did not discuss was my inspection, so I thought I could ask one of you guys. Now I am a troll, a jerk , for what ? Why? Like I said make it a private forum if you are going to have people on here ripping newbies instead of giving them sound advise. It just doesnt make sense.

LIFT LAWS

04/13/99

An examination of your vehicle indicates that it has been raised more than 4 inches beyond its manufactured height. Under the provisions of N.J.A.C. 13:20-37.3, such a vehicle must undergo a geometric stability test.
These tests are being conducted by appointment only at specialty inspection locations. A comprehensive examination of the steering and suspension will be conducted. There is no charge for this inspection. Please call the location of your choice as soon as possible, since the test must be completed prior to the expiration date of your inspection sticker.

Conditions for the motor vehicles with elevated chassis heights are:

(1) Steering gear ratios and steering wheel left stop to right stop turns must be within 1/2 turn of the original manufacturers specifications.

(2) Headlights shall be mounted no lower than 22" nor more than 54" above the ground.

(3) Taillights shall be mounted no lower than 15" nor more than 72" above the ground.

(4) Off road lights must be covered while operating on public roads.

(5) License plates must be mounted no less than 12" nor more than 48" above the ground.

(6) Brake lines and hoses must be protected from excess heat and vibration. They must be mounted in a manner to prevent chafing, undue wear, stress, or unintentional disconnection.

(7) Vehicles originally equipped with bumpers must have them securely fastened, no less then 16" from the ground to the bottom of the bumper, and shall extend the full width of the vehicle.

(8) Maximum tire diameter allowed will be 38" or 6" over stock, whichever is less.

(9) All tires must be the same size. Maximum tire pressure as stated on tire is recommended. Front tires must be at least 60% of the thread width of the rear tires.

(10) Front fenders must extend over the full width of the tire thread. Rear tires that are not covered by the fender or other body parts must be equipped with metal protectors or flexible flaps that prevent dirt, debris and water from being thrown.

(11) Exposed fuel tanks must be encased. Side mounted tanks must have a protective bar to prevent rupture.

(12) Exposed exhaust system components and moving parts must be shielded.

(13) Ballast must be securely mounted.

(14) Releasing the steering wheel in a sharp turn shall result in an increase in turning radius.

(15) Spacers to increase track width are prohibited.

(16) Maximum lift heights for GVWR 4500 lbs and under... 7" above original vehicle height.

(17) Maximum lift heights for GVWR 4501 - 7500 lbs... 9" above original vehicle height.

(18) Maximum lift heights for GVWR 7501 - 10,000 lbs... 11" above original vehicle height.

(19) No blocks are allowed on the front suspension.

(20) All credentials are to be up to date.

(21) Please report to the Supervisor’s Office at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment. Lateness will result in cancellation of the scheduled appointment. Do not wait in the inspection line. Stability tests are not given in inclement weather. Please call the station if questionable.

Please Note: Vehicles that have been previously approved prior to October 1, 1998 are exempt from lift restrictions. However, all other regulations must be complied with by February 1, 1999 except limitations on tire diameter which must be complied with by October 1, 2000.


Vehicles Certified Prior to 10/1/98


All vehicles tested and approved prior to October 1, 1998 will have until October 1, 2000 to comply with the tire diameter requirements. While all vehicles approved prior to October 1, 1998 will be exempt from the maximum lift requirements, once the vehicle is retrofitted to comply with the new tire regulations, a new stability test will be required.
Effective October 1, 2000, maximum tire diameter will be no more than six (6) inches larger than the stock tire available from the manufacturer ( for that model and model year ) or thirty-eight inch diameter, whichever is LESS. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

LMAO!
I can't be a redneck! I tried to join the NJ chapter but since I grew up in NYC I was banned!
Maybe I should try the CT chapter, I know I have an "in" there!

You can't be more than 4"s above stock? Man, that sucks. Your lift looks like blows that spec away by a couple of inches, then add the increased height due to the tires. Sorry, don't have an answer to your questions, but couldn't you figure the numbers by adding a few numbers. First, measure the height of the new tires. Don't know what they are but lets say it is 37"s versus the 35"s that come stock. Take that one inch of vehicle height increase then add the size of the lift. Looks like a 6" lift plus the 1" increase from the tires gives you 7"s over stock. Someone correct me if I am wrong here. Looks good though.

I guess I am not, I will just sit back and take it like that fag in the movie-- but seriously can anyon help me with the inspection
