    LS Swap with RSG Tranzilla, Custom hi clearance front bumper, Relentless: Slider's, bed rails, rear bumper, Prinsu with 40" BD s8. Dirt Designs 3.5 LT. Archive Garage rear towers/shackle flip/SUA. King Air bumps. King LT Coilovers in front. King 12x2.5 in rear. ARB rear air locker and twin compressor. SCS f5's with 33" Ridge Grapplers. 20" S8 mounted in bumper, squadron sport fog lights, squadron pro backup lights, LP6's bumper mounted.
    probably gonna be pretty state/area dependent. That being said i did get pulled over for mine once....but i also had my phone out at the time(i know, i know) so probably wouldn't have been an issue otherwise, driven by plenty of cops since without a second look.

    There's a thread somewhere on here about this. I'll try to find it. Basically, the OP got a bunch of grief from local LE for not having mud flaps. Like @tacotunner06 said, your experience will vary by state/area.

    I'm planning on installing mud flaps on my HC bumper once I get it. Not due to any local restrictions, more because I don't want road spray to contribute to getting rear-ended.

    As far as lift-related issues go, I'd check this site to make sure your bumper height is within limits:
