I live in Indiana also... I just spent an hour or more looking at the motor vehicle code.... the only thing I can find is the bumper position cannot vary more that 3 inches from the manufacturer installed position, and the headlights cannot be more than 54 inches above the ground.....

So you could lift it 10 feet off the ground, and as log as you make sure you have a bumper located in the "stock" position (think DOT Bar) and the headlights are not higher than 54 inches, you are golden..... I have seen trucks that are very high, that have a bumper and headlights mounted lower. I saw one that is a Louisville Chassis truck that has a bumper lower, and the headlights have been relocated into the bumper.....

your buddies truck makes 35s look like 33s lol you have any more pictures of his truck? i dont mind a lot of wheel well clearance, i just dont want it being tall an narrow, which i'm afraid itll be with 13.5 wide 37s. but if his 35s look alright maybe 14.5 wide 36s will work..

at this height i cant do crossover steering, but it drives fine right now anyways. if i put this rsk on i will do it.

thats a 3" rsk right? 35s look a little small imo, but 37s might not look bad.. we'll see. i've still got an engine swap to do before I go any higher. thanks for posting the pics man.
