Maryland Inspection - Lenient Shops?

[cms0428]

Hey everyone. Recently moved to western MD near Brunswick and have a 2022 LTZ with a 3” lift and 35”s. I haven’t taken the truck to an inspection station yet but was wondering if anyone knows of an “easier” place to get an inspection. The tires hardly protrude from the body of the truck (maybe 1/2”-3/4” max). Tint may give me a problem but I can rip that off. I appreciate any input!

How can I tell if my window tint is legal?

**Windshields may NOT be tinted on any vehicle below the AS1 line**

Red, yellow, amber, and reflective window tint is prohibited on all vehicles.

On passenger cars, convertibles, and station wagons:

 

All windows with aftermarket (add on) tint must have at least 35% light transmittance. (Allow 35% of light to pass through glass)

On multipurpose vehicles, vans, and class “E” trucks that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) equal to or less than 10,000 pounds:

 

Windows on the driver and right front passenger doors with aftermarket (added) tint must have at least 35% light transmittance.  

All other windows can be tinted to any degree of darkness or color. However, reflective tint is prohibited.

Note: as of February 1, 2012, Limousines are not permitted to have tint on the windows right and left of the driver.

 

Here's the wheel and tire details on what passes and fails:  Sec. 11.14.02.04. Wheels and Tires, Chapter 11.14.02. Safety Standards for Passenger Cars, Taxicabs, Light Trucks, Vans, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, and Type II School Vehicles, Subtitle 14. MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION—VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, Title 11. Department of Transportation, Code of Maryland Regulations (elaws.us)

 

Procedure 7 footnote B is rather interesting - (b) Tires are significantly smaller than manufacturer's specified minimum or of such a significantly larger size that require suspension modification to prevent tire and body contact during different vehicle attitudes.

 

Full regulations - Chapter 11.14.02. Safety Standards for Passenger Cars, Taxicabs, Light Trucks, Vans, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, and Type II School Vehicles, Subtitle 14. MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION—VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, Title 11. Department of Transportation, Code of Maryland Regulations (elaws.us)

On my new truck, I am getting the sides to match the rear seat ones(illegal in CA). I am also getting the clear low E tint(not really a tint but they call it that)It might have a very slight tint to it.
