The state of Georgia is following other states laws and regulations on “squatted trucks” after a couple of states banned or regulated how much squat you could have on a vehicle. The current bill trying to be passed “SB 352” states that the bottom of your front fender cannot be 4 inches or higher than the bottom of your rear fender. While also clarifying your vehicle cannot be lifted or lowered 6 inches past manufacturers recommendations. Let me explain why this new bill needs to be stopped/changed. First of all the current law in the state of Georgia you cannot lift/lower your vehicle past two inches, that means the MOST amount of “squat” you can have on a stock vehicle from the factory is a 2 inch leveling kit in the front, and 2 inch drop shackles. So TECHNICALLY the squatted trucks they’re talking about (most are lifted 6+ inches in the front, and or lowered in the rear) are already ILLEGAL. Why try and make another law when they’re already illegal. Here’s what I think needs to happen. I think there should be a new law first of all because a lot of people use their trucks for work and or farm use. A 2 inch leveling kit simply cannot fulfill the needs of what the vehicle owners are needing to do. You can’t even run a basic 35 inch mud tire on a 2 inch leveling kit, not to mention most dealerships sell lifted trucks every single day. So this law in my opinion does need to be changed. For lifted trucks, lowered trucks and Squatted Trucks. I know it comes down to a safety issue with some of these trucks and I understand it does need to have some restrictions. But banning a whole type of vehicle is uncalled for and needs to be further acknowledged, number of wrecks for these vehicles should be known. Number of accidents caused by this modification should be known, before making a whole new law. I believe most people want it banned because they do not understand it or think it looks ugly. Which is not a good enough reason for a law, For personal reasons and not hazardous reasons, I feel that these truck owners are very passionate about their trucks and modifications, it brings people together, a way to make new friends, and keeps people from doing bad things like drugs etc. I think it is a very positive thing for the community (speaking from experience). I believe the current law needs to be changed to a much higher amount you can lower/lift a vehicle, and believe there would be NO more significant amount of wrecks by doing so. Limiting a vehicle to only 2 inches of lift or lowering is very minimal and isn’t practical for anybody wanting to modify there vehicle for specific reasons, (handling, towing, appearance, clearance, etc.) Now for the squatted trucks, I myself have been in a TON within the last 6 years or so, I have a lot of friends with them and I believe someone that hasn’t been in one would not understand how easy it is to actually see what is ahead, I’ve been in vehicles with a 9 inch lift and 2 inch drop shackles and you could see fine, and the headlights can be adjusted all the way down to the road. A lot of concerns are not being able to see and blinding oncoming traffic which is either misconception or the vehicle owner not taking proper responsibility when doing the modifications. Headlights should always be adjusted when tampering with suspension. I feel that the owners are much more aware of their surroundings having so much time and money into their “build” they are more careful than everyday drivers, and have personally never seen one in a serious wreck (even if there are some on record, wrecks do happen, regardless “squatted” or not) so I’m asking for the law to be changed to where these people have more limit than just 4 inch difference front to back I do not think it is fair with there not being any hard evidence, and consider letting such owners of “squatted trucks” have similar rules to Louisiana for instance and allowing 6 inch difference or even much more! A 4 inch difference is pretty much the same view as something leveled, and don’t feel like your view is really changed much when even going extreme. Please help us bring attention to this law, and consider some changes, for the people of Georgia's sake! Also a few states have threatened to take drivers of such vehicles license away for a year on the 3rd offense, I do believe the law (however written) should be a fix it ticket, and taking the drivers license should not be considered. Thank you and please help bring attention to the state of Georgia!
