Quote HistoryQuoted: Hate to tell you, but bumper height restrictions have been around forever. Yep. Bumper height regulations have been around as long as I’ve been driving (30ish years). As a hillbilly who’s had my fair share of lifted trucks, it’s been something to be aware of. But squatted trucks are really dumb and are much more unsafe than lifted trucks or a raised rear track stance. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One thing I’ve wondered with the trucks with a serous slant back is how it affects oil, trans fluid, pickups etc handle it? The ones I have looked at in parking lots are complete shade tree clusterfucks. Bodge-jobs in British slang. Their handling is likely totally compromised for any sort of emergency steering and braking, and if the shitty components used fail while just driving, it will probably make the truck almost uncontrollable. The people doing these are probably entirely ignorant of how fluids work within the truck and when a component grenades, they just have it replaced. |

Critical thinking not your strength? You can't see out the front of your vehicle, and your headlights are pointed forward instead of down and forward like they are supposed to be. |

After seeing how poor the condition of the suspension is on the one whistlin diesel bought I am mainly good with it. There used to be bumper height laws already on the books in many states. Florida had a headlight height law in the 80's and lifted mud truck guys used to mount headlights under the bumper.

This dumb law wont do anything for safety same as barrel length requirements for rifles and shotguns.
4 inch difference between front and rear? Busted! 3.9 inches? Safe! 15.9 inch barrel? Busted! 16 inches? Safe! I am sure the state did thorough scientific review to come up with that 4 inch number, |

Back when air shocks were popular, they would pull you over if you filled them up air because the bumper height was too high. Safety issue due to mis-matched bumper heights with other cars; seems to me they could've just used the same provision in the law for the same reason. |

Neither from the pictures you provide clearly show to exceed the scientifically and government approved 4 inch differential. But keep celebrating laws that try to impose your taste on others. Kind of like scary black guns with shoulder things that must go up should be banned. ( One of us is reeeeeing here and it isnt me) |
