Ride height regulations

[Justin B]

Of course there is. I just dont know what it is :) lol

Ride height can be whatever, as long as the headlights are the right height, unless of course you're in Cali, which you aren't.

Like JasonC said, really the only risk is the insurance company dropping you or raising your rates for modifying it/without telling them

Is there a different law in California?

IIRC you can't go above or below a certain number of inches from what the factory bumper height was. But i don't know what that # is.

Although now that they know your car has been modified, just hope they don't try to up your insurance or drop you.

I think that is referring to lifted trucks. The only thing i have heard of for lowered cars is the height of headlights from the ground, but i don't know what state that was and what the requirement was.

I have been searching for a while now and I can't seem to find any definitive references for states and their limits on ride heights.

Does anyone have a useful link to help me out? I used Google to find MD's law and this was the closest I found:

22-105. Alterations reducing effectiveness of bumpers.

(b) Alterations prohibiting operation of vehicle.- A person may not operate a vehicle on any highway in the State if, as a result of post-manufacture alterations, the height of the vehicle's frame side rails or either of the vehicle's bumpers exceeds:

(1) In the case of a Class A (passenger) vehicle, 20 inches;

Frame side rails are located where exactly? The only reason I'm wondering is because Geico called and asked me specifically how low the car was. They know its lowered because I mention it when I need their towing service.
