Here's the site for California Law through 2006:

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

You are probably, though not necessarily, safe if you limit your search
to the Vehicle Code, but the law is a funny thing, and I am not a lawyer.

Happy hunting.

You will need stronger axles but stock drive train can live IF you
gear the axles properly. Biggest mistake people make is that they
refuse to run 5.38 or deeper gears with big tires like this and this
places a LOT of strain on drive train and this is where the need for
HD trannies and Tcase is born because they try to use a big engine and
tranny gears or Tcase gears to overcome the big tires and tall gears.
Also kong as you take the time to properly gear it it will do
surprizing well with stock engine but I cannot stress enough that
gears will make you or break you on this project.
