where to begin!
well, besides moving to Connecticuit where they really do not care about the height of a vehicle.....
does anyone know a good inspection station that is off road vehicle "friendly"?

they take one look at my vehicle and tell me no! ive tried almost everywhere in a 15 mile radius (literally!)

Massachusetts RMV Safety and inspection says my vehicle would be slightly over with the 6 inches of lift, but i see So many massive lifted vehicles they put me to shame....and they get inspected.

i swear they look at how pretty your vehicle is as opposed to how well maintained it is.

i will drive anywhere inside the peoples republic of communist Massachusetts to get my rig inspected.

I guess I would try to ask the driver/owner of one of the lifted vehicles in your area that you see.

Move to PA, they dont give a crap how high your ride is, as long as it runs, has working lights, and the exhaust is not falling apart.

buddy.. im in maine..and believe it or not... we have some of the most stick bullshit up here... ill fill you in on the way we do it up here... first.. you find the most trashy place around.... theres your first sign.. then you mozzey on down to the gas station.. pick up a six pack, head back to the ice shack of an ispection station... walk in with a 50 dollar bill and the beer... and say.. you know exactly what im lookin for.

(works every time...60% of the time)

seriously tho man... thats worked allot for me... in my dumb days..i had a ranger lifted with pressure treated wood... and it worked for me... id also lioke to add in that i was too young for a job...soo no money for lift blocks
