Might have to put a front plate on the ITR if you can get a VI not worth the hassle

I think the most unsafe, yet common modification that I see are the raised pickup trucks.  | |

Can we get real here? No modification is inherently unsafe. When you lift your truck, you don’t go driving the same way you would in a sports car. It’s just the same as if you add camber to your wheels, and then drive more moderately when it rains because you have less of a contact patch. We can’t be okay with one modification that is known to be “unsafe” and then say another is unsafe. Double standards will just complicate everything. We all need to be on the same team here if we want this to go away.

Well having your bumper hit someone in the side window instead of the door actually is unsafe, or having giant bash bars, or 9 degrees of camber in some shitty Nissan sedan so yeah, some mods are unsafe.
People need to use some common sense as well if they want it to go away. Again, those of us with modifications that fit within the MVA guidelines shouldn’t be in the same categories that don’t.
On top of the issue that many MVA guidelines are unclear or arbitrary.

Much needed for short wheel base vehicles like a jeep. Not safe for on road use I agree but cops seem to care more about tire poke

crash bars are not made equal 
and you can tell it is tucked in further from the platform, hence if a vehicle with a short hood (honda fit, smart fortwo) slams into it, their heads are gone

On top of the issue that many MVA guidelines are unclear or arbitrary. | A pickup truck hitting a car like yours on the drivers side at 60 kph will most likely still seriously injure or kill you regardless if it has a lift kit or not.
If you truly cared about your own safety, you wouldn’t be driving a car like an E36 M3 that literally crumples like peanut brittle in a side impact crash situation
That’s the whole reason that people buy SUVs and trucks. Because of the same concerns that you have.
I don’t believe others should have to be restricted in their modifications, just because you feel unsafe in your 25 year old car.

Do you think a window has the same crash protection as a door?
Second of all, I don’t make the rules for lift kits, they exist for a reason. Perhaps you should look at the crash tegra posted above. There is a maximum bumper height for that reason. I don’t care, jack up your truck 8 feet, as long as it has protection to keep cars from going under it.
Also I’ve been hit by a pickup truck at nearly 60km/h drivers side once already in an e30. Once I was cut out of the car I walked away. I feel plenty safe in my car as long as people on the roads are only partially idiots.

Is there any evidence to support that jacked up trucks aren't getting VI's in Vancouver? I'd be shocked to hear that through all this shit recently a truck like the one in the accident posted above wouldn't get a VI right now. If Jeep's are getting nailed a truck rolling on 35s with no mudflaps isn't getting a pass.

I’m sure they are. I’m not out with a pitchfork for trucks. Just trying to make the point that not all mods are equal. It’s the same as lowering a car 2 inches with a proper alignment or slamming it, putting 195/40s on an 18x10 et-34 with -13 camber. Mods done with some sense and those that aren’t shouldn’t be created equal.

If Jeep's are getting nailed a truck rolling on 35s with no mudflaps isn't getting a pass. | Lifted trucks are always getting VI's, for things like mud flaps, tire poke, headlight heights, lightbars, etc. They do occasionally complain about it on places like BC4WD or BC Coal rollers on FB, but by and large the mentality seems to be "Pay to play". I've yet to hear of anyone getting harassed too badly for the actual suspension lifts themselves which is surprising. I've also yet to hear anyone getting bothered too much for DPF deletes and having their trucks tuned, unless they are being stupid rolling coal all the way down 200th street. I know guys who get caught once or twice, and they learn the lesson, finally they buy a set of kickback mudflaps and some fender flares, and carry on.
I got pulled on hwy 1 just between langley and abby in my work truck 3 months ago, cop asked basic questions regarding the lighting (Flood lights around the truck, lightbars up front, and a beacon lamp). He mentioned covers for some of the lights, but as soon as I showed him my registration for having the amber beacon on the truck he realized he's just stopping someone who is trying to do a job, so he let me go. It's also valuable to note, he did a good check around my trailer as well, and asked some semi intelligent questions about my load and how it was strapped, as well as asked me to demonstrate my trailer brakes and stuff. I was impressed with the cop, he asked the right things to ensure quickly that I wasn't committing any blatant safety violations, and he never gave any incorrect information.

they don't do lifted trucks because the cops probably do it themselves

That YJ has tons of tire poke, a stubby bumper, heavy suspension mods, and definitely over 10cm of lift. It's also 24 years old and who knows how crusty underneath. Quote:

Most of them had multiple very obviously illegal mods though (tire poke/light bar/stubby bumper/etc).
