problem...

Nothin to major with my truck... I told my g/f my idea about the 4/5 drop and she said no lol... she told me that if i was going to do anything to it i was going to raise it or she was going to leave me... pretty crude isn't it? she already has control over my life now shes taking over my truck... so now my question is how high can I legally go in illinois and about how much is it going to cost me?

girlfriends come and go dude, if she doesnt want you to drop it then slam it as far down as you can. shoot, id put it on bags and go in front of her house and move it up and down.

dont let her tell you she will leave you. afterall, who is she goin out with, you or the truck?

dont look at this as a problem, this is an opporitunity. if i was you i would slam it as far as it would go. OR if she wanted it lifted so bad then she could do it herself. tell her to do mine while shes at it

if you did want to lift it here is some info about the state of IL.

Illinois


You can't lift the body from the chassis more than 3 inches. In terms of bumper height, a 4,500-pound GVWR or less and your front bumper can't go higher than 24 inches, and the rear must be no more than 26 inches. GVWRs between 4,501 and 7,500 mean 27 inches at the front and 29 at the rear. Finally, if your truck is between 7,501 and 9,000, the allowable altering is 28 and 30 inches.

if you lift it she has to pay for wheels and tires. sounds like a deal to me.
