IS MY MOD LEGAL?

Lowering in Nevada

Legal

Nevada has no statute limiting how low a vehicle may be. General equipment rules — headlamp height, working lighting, nothing dragging on the road — still apply.

What the law says

No Nevada statute sets a minimum ride height, bumper height, or ground clearance for lowered vehicles. NRS 484D.610 is a maximum ground clearance — the lowest body point of a passenger car may not exceed 24 inches — so it restricts lifting, not lowering.

Exceptions & Exemptions

No specific Nevada statute found regulating vehicle lowering modifications
