I mentioned to my car insurance agent that I was planning to do a lift soon and was told they would not be able to insure me if I did so.
Any suggestions where to get insurance after getting my lift?
Thanks!

State Farm said as long as the bottom of the bumpers are less than 36" I was fine. Also said keep current pics for any upgrades.

Looks like anybody but your insurance, huh!?! Liberty Mutual has no restrictions. I do wonder, though, with any insurance, they'll cover you on road but maybe not off.
farm bureau has never had any problems with my lifted jeeps , who do you have now?

I have progressive and they are fine with my lifted jeep. They even asked if I wanted to have "off road" insurance!!

Yea progressive is the bomb when it comes to modified jeeps and offroading. Indiana Farmers is pretty awesome too. When I totaled my XJ, they covered all the lift, bumper, winch and rock rails.
Well what I have learned is EVERYONE's insurance company is good with a lifted/modded Jeep. Its just yours that seems to have an issue with it. You need to do some comparison shopping on price and make the jump.
I have State Farm in Niles. They have been great for everything in the past. I will ask them about the 36 inch bumper rule. I plan to lift enough for 35's is all. If it's a problem I will obviously have to switch . Thank you for the input everyone.

Bumper height in Indiana is limited to 30" to the bottom of the bumper. Not that I have ever heard of them checking trucks/Jeeps.
