[@flipskater1369]

I’ve never had a problem with a little squat, a little lean with big wheels looks clean but its an obvious safety hazard when it’s 45 degrees to the road and your mirrors are pointed at the pavement. Also the fact their names are blake bryson etc. is hilarious the jokes write themselves

[@reaganriddle1583]

An inch or 2 even 3 higher up front is always cleaner than rake

The real question is why does it rage anger in people? Is it the permanent squat? We used to slam the back of our low riders with huge step notches. And people loved that!!! 🤟🏼

It meant to be a show build. It’s not everyone’s style and it might not be able to fulfill the purpose of off-roading but it still has a purpose and that’s to look good. You might think that it was better stock because you would want it for going off road but he wanted it to be a show build so he squatted it. Just different style of builds. No disrespect for anyone just trying to be unbiased and try to help everyone have a better understanding and appreciation for other people’s opinions Again no disrespect
