could someone please enlightening me as to why there is an epidemic of fucktardness going on with making trucks squat in the rear? besides tossing aside any ability to haul or tow anything, is there any logical reason for this or is this just how fucking retarded people have become?








there are even clubs for this shit.

Used to be a thing back in the day.

Just like skinny neck ties.

It originated as the "cali lean".  People installing lift kits on their late model chevy pickups would over crank the torsion bars causing the front to ride higher than the rear.  It caught on after that.

I think it has to do with air ride suspention. A friends kid has it in his truck. I think he uses it in truck pulls or something. Damn I just realized I am getting old I dont understand this crap either.

Out here in So Cal its the bros who have long travel suspensions in the front for running in the desert.  Its supposed to look like a trophy truck.

Uhh, isn't it best to have the truck a few inches higher in the rear so that it balances out with a heavy load?



I live in Northern Sonora Arizona so I'm used to seeing retarded Mexican low riders, but I think the above trucks look even worse.

I see it a lot around here.  Not just Rangers/Tacomas/etc.  I see 3/4 and 1 ton Fords/Chevys with a sagging rear.  I find it even more hilarious because a lot of the time, they are loaded with dirt bikes and camping gear.

You are is contracted as  you're.  "Your retard" means your possessive object that is retarded.

Huh, that's pretty dumb.  I wish I could have all the money back that I wasted on stupid car mods.  I am guilty of doing dumb crap to my cars for nothing more than cosmetic gains.  Well, gains in my eyes at the time anyway.

Never really had that problem, I've always gone with good suspension and brakes first.  I'm a "function over form" kinda guy...
I DID PlastiDip my Husky black, it needed it though...

I see that in my area too. Most of them are dropped in the ass end with $30 lowering blocks. Just depends if the axle is above or below the leaf springs and how much travel is there. Some just pull leafs out. Some are bagged. The owners haven't touched the front because the drop spindles are too expensive and have no clue what they're doing anyway.

I saw an 80's Monte Carlo with 2x4 wooden blocks propping the front end up. They jacked up the car, stuffed in blocks to keep the suspension at full travel/height, then let it down.

I'm guilty of playing with torsion bars on old VW's though.

I did appearance only mods in the past, nothing to put fashion over function though.  Appearance mods, to me now, are a big waste of money.  Try telling that to a young kid with too much money though.

I never did that, I loved having a stock looking car that would stomp the fuck out of the little ricers with the dumbass looking set ups. I took my money and bought cams, headers, tunes....
