magregor Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 So, my Pathy is finally done, I took it down to the inspection station to get it done...WELL, they took out the tape measure, measured the tires, the height and said I had to take the lift kit out! ummmm, NOT! So, I went home, fixed a couple things (door pins and bushings, small hole in rear quarter and license plate lights...no big deal...then I swapped my 33's for a new set of 31's. I go there and they said I was still over height. I blew up! in the end, the manager said if I cut 1/2" off the 2" lift blocks, he would pass it...I was NOT happy, but I swallowed it and went home. I took all the lift blocks and cut 1/2" off them and put it back together. I go there and FOUR mechanics argued over the distance between the chassis mount and the cab mount. I FINALLY got approved (but someone got in trouble)...But it now is all road legal. Word of advice...don't mod your Pathy in Quebec until AFTER you get inspection!

kiwipete Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That sucks big time dude. Do you have a 6 month or annual inspection that has to be done on your truck? Will be a hassle every time if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why they care about height anyway... Big deal... I told him to lower the tire pressure Better word of advice; Ef Quebec, if you live there you deserve the crap you gotta deal with! This is true, but the insurance is way cheaper and there is no emissions testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a hassle every time if that is the case. If any vehicule remains without imatriculation for 365 days minus 1...364, inspection is imperative before putting plates on...new or old...otherwise if you renew every year, you are not subjected to do so, unless you get pull aside because your car would be to messy or falling apart...

magregor Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I live in Quebec because I have 4 boys and the only asset here is the social programs and benefits of having children. Other than that, I would rather live in Ottawa. I don't think that going through all that crap of jacking and propping is worth adding the additional 1/2" back on.
