This is a relative no brainer.... You say nothing. You just hand him a laminated 3x5 card that you keep in your glovebox, on which you have the formula from the Massachusetts code with all the proper values filled in giving the total lift height allowed for your vehicle. If just seeing that doesn't lighten up his mood, then you still have valid justification to appeal any ticket he may give you. Don't be a smartass about it either, just show the card, keep your cool, and be nice. If he figures you did your homework enough to do this, you are not going to be worth his ink.
