Brandon, there is a law in CO that states lifts are illegal, BUT, there was a court ruling that this code cannot be enforced because it is unconstitutional. The only reason it has been left in the code book is because it would cost the taxpayers and courts a lot of time and money to remove it, so they just amended it and ruled it is un-enforceable. here it is straight from the book.

ANNOTATION

Annotations
Annotator's note. Since § 42-4-233 is similar to § 42-4-232 as it existed prior to the 1994 amending of title 42 as enacted by SB 94-1 a relevant case construing that provision has been included in the annotations to this section.

Section unconstitutional. This section's flat prohibition against any motor vehicle suspension system alteration, except the installation of heavy duty shock absorbers or springs, is unconstitutionally overbroad. People v. Von Tersch, 180 Colo. 295, 505 P.2d 5 (1973) (decided prior to 1975 amendment).
