Nice info! It looks like if I move to the USA I'll go to Montana
There is a thread with the Canadian info here: Bumper and headlight height

to paraphrase...
Headlight Height:
headlight height between 56 cm and 137 cm (21-55 in) above road surface when measured at center.

Bumper Height:
cars:
center of bumper between 380-560 mm (15-22 in) from the ground

trucks rated less than 4 500 kg:
lowest part of front bumper higher than 750 mm (29.5 in) from the ground
track width, horizontal surface 100 mm (4 in)

apparently my blazer is considered a car because of the backseat and seat belts.

That is a good chart but the washington section is incomplete as there is also bumper minimum and maximum heights depending on GVRW. I wonder if we couldnt come up with our own lift laws chart and have members from each state get the proper info from their state patrol. I know washington has is listed on their web site.
