Cars and SUVs – The maximum height of the front and rear bumpers is 22 inches. There are very few traffic laws in Ohio that make it one of the most off-road vehicle-friendly states in the country. Residents are free to install suspension lift kits, spare wheels and tires, performance shock absorbers, spare bumpers and grille protection. The height of the frame in Ohio depends on the height of the bumper, as bumpers must be attached to the frame. If the bumper height of a vehicle has been changed ex works or if the vehicle was not equipped with bumpers, the height restrictions of the frame bumper apply. • Bumper height violations: Minnesota law states that the bumper height must be less than six inches of the height of the factory bumper. The maximum bumper height for 4x4s is 25 inches. Bumpers must be at least 4 1/2 inches high and extend 10 inches outside each frame rail. The height of the bumper shall be determined by measuring from the underside of the bumper without vertical attachment of the bumper to the ground. A vehicle with an original bumper no higher than 30 inches can be modified by attaching a full-width bumper to the normal bumper to meet the height requirement.
Question: I want to install a lifting kit and put bigger tires on my jeep. I want to comply with all state laws. What is a bumper height law and the law on tires protruding from fenders? • Higher risk of rollover accident: Increasing the height of the vehicle increases the center of gravity of the vehicle, making it less balanced. This could be a problem in tight corners, as a higher center of gravity gives the vehicle a tendency to tilt more, increasing the likelihood that it will roll over or lose control. Additional changes may be required to correct this. Be sure to read the elevator kit manufacturer`s instructions if you install it yourself or install it correctly. (b) issue to the Director of Public Safety, in accordance with chapter 119 of the revised Code, rules governing the maximum height of the bumper or, in the absence of a bumper and in cases where the height of the bumper has been lowered or altered, the maximum height to the bottom of the rail of the chassis of passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger cars, in accordance with the Commission`s standards for the safety of vehicle equipment; or trucks. Ohio`s traffic laws are listed in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). In Ohio, bumpers cannot be removed from vehicles equipped with factory bumpers. Bumpers shall be at least 4.5 inches high, attached to the vehicle chassis and at least as wide as the vehicle track spacing. The height of the bumper depends on the total weight of the vehicle.

`maximum authorised weight` means the maximum authorised weight specified by the manufacturer for that vehicle. Currently, there are no lifting restrictions or restrictions on changing the suspension in Ohio. Answer: Whenever you make a modification or change to a vehicle`s original suspension and tires/rims, it can change the handling, steering and braking of that vehicle and affect its overall performance. (C) No person shall drive on a highway or highway a passenger car, multi-purpose passenger car or truck registered in that State that does not meet the requirements of this Division or any applicable rule enacted under this Division. • Tires that go beyond the wings: The installation of wheels that are outside the wings requires widening of the wings.

By adding larger tires and rims, the standard braking system may need to be improved. The front suspension may require larger, stronger parts. Larger vehicles can increase your blind spots, as smaller vehicles can be less visible. It may be necessary to add larger mirrors, move current mirrors or add a blind spot mirror to see vehicles in the blind spot. It is highly recommended that you consult a professional mechanic before modifying a vehicle to ensure that it is safe and complies with all state laws. • Speeding due to larger tires/rims: The speedometer shows the number of turns of the tires, not the speed at which they slip. For larger tires, the circumference of the tires is larger, which means that the distance around the tire is longer, so with each rotation you go further than before.
Now the actual speed of the vehicle is higher than the speedometer indicates. It will be lower if smaller tires/rims are installed. I recommend stopping by a local car/tire shop so they can advise you on how your speedometer would be turned off.
