Here's the law from DMV's website,
Sec. 14-137-25. Limitations
Each ‘‘passenger motor vehicle’’ as defined in subdivision (35) of section 14-1
of the General Statutes operating on the highways of this state shall be equipped
with a suspension system that complies with the following:
(a) Vehicle suspension configuration. Each motor vehicle shall be equipped
with a suspension system consisting of the basic elements originally provided by
the vehicle manufacturer and geometrically arranged in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications. No suspension system component shall be replaced unless
such replacement component meets or exceeds the quality and performance standards
established by the vehicle manufacturer and the safe operating characteristics of the
vehicle on which such replacement component is installed are not adversely affected
by such installation.
(b) Height adjustment limitations. No additional devices shall be installed or
equipment substitutions made at any location on any motor vehicle when such
installation or addition either:
(1) Raises the sprung portion of the vehicle in excess of four (4) inches above
the vehicle’s unladen height as established by the vehicle manufacturer; or,
(2) Lowers any part of the sprung portion of the vehicle so as to reduce the
vertical clearance, between the sprung portion of the vehicle and a level surface on
which it rests unladen, to less than four (4) inches.
(c) Spring replacement limitation. No suspension springs which have a load
carrying capacity or spring rate below that specified by the vehicle manufacturer
shall be installed on any vehicle.
(d) Shock absorber mounting limitation. No shock absorber shall be installed
in any manner which will allow it to reach its extreme stroke limitation while the
vehicle is being operated.
In order for the cops to write you a ticket, they need to be able to prove your lift is to high. Most of the time they measure from the bottom of the bumper to the ground, which can't be more than 30". If they want to be an a****le, they can summons you to Dmv for a vehicle inspection. Once you pass you receive paperwork on the measurements, keep that and they can't bother you again.

X2 on the spring trail run that JdTms11 is coordinating - I hope we have a good turnout, especially some new faces, considering how easy the Tolland (MA) trails are.
