A friend asked me to buy this for him when I get home. Pretty cool, not Mopar though

Seem to remember back in the mid-late 80's NJ having a tilt test of sorts. rolled you onto 4 scales, weighed the truck, tilted you to a certain angle and you were allowed a certain percentage of weight shift or some crap like that. Guy I went to school with had a f250 with rockwells under it and he was telling me about it. His truck was legal, he had some issues with low hanging power lines when he had the lights on the truck....this is more style of truck.....

yup.. they changed things even more now though.. think there is a 4" lift limt and there is also a tire size limit. the lift imspection was crazy. not only did they do the tilt test like you remember but that alse checked everything under the turck. better have 3 threads sticking out past the nut for the shocks or you'll fail.. checked the u-bolts, mud flaps and flares were a must.. quite a few big trucks were legal buddy had a little ford ranger with 40's on it that passed with no problems.. my jeep with 33's on it needed to go through it.

the thing that caused all the bullshit was some idiot in a lifted truck was running around with bald tires and a total pile of crap truck and ended up killing someone. after that and i'm sure many more unsafe truck incidents they cracked down hard on the big truck thing.
