For those interested in legal and Treadlightly! wheeling in Maine - please visit Maine 4x4 Club - THE source for all things offroad in Maine. Great Group of Guys, with Member and non-member events. (I highly recommend becoming a member)
2 Things to consider if you are a wheeler and considering moving to Maine:
-Maine Inspection Laws make it difficult to drive a highly modified rig on the street in Maine, such a limit of tire upsizing of maximum 2 sizes resulting in 2" inches or less (link to our inspection manual - http://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/license...n%20Manual.pdf, )
-Legal places to wheel in Maine are becoming more and more scarce, but that's not unique to Maine
Everywhere. Honest. We have members in NH, Kittery, Portland, Lewiston/Auburn, Augusta, Wayne, Winthrop, Bangor, Brunswick, Brewer, Livermore Falls, Farmington, and on an on. We cover the whole state.
It's a good group. Spend most of my time wheeling in NH, but Maine has some good stuff.
Rock Mountain Terrain will probably be getting some more stuff soon
As far as I know frame height is restricted to depend on what your vehicle weighs. And body ifts are OK but you can not use hockey pucks or thing like that . It has to be a "manufacturered BL"
I believe my Jeep can be no more than 24 inches to the frame on the front and 26 inches on the rear. A pick-up that weighs more can be a bit taller.
