Lawmakers in North Carolina are looking to ban the 'Carolina Squat'. What the heck is the Carolina Squat you might ask? It's when the front of a truck is raised and the rear lowered in an effort to create a "squatted truck".

And authorities want to restrict your ability to do that with a new bill. If passed it would restrict the ability of people in this region to customize their trucks in this way so that they couldn't modify or alter the truck by elevating it more than 3 inches from the specific height that comes from the manufacturer. They also couldn't lower it more than 2 inches from that recommended height in the back.

It isn't something you might see in many different places, though there are other areas around the U.S. that do something similar in the truck community.

Those who might be in favor of the restrictions say that it isn't safe and it isn't good for the truck. However, we still see many truck owners want that customization and they are willing to pay for it.

Despite it being something that a variety of truck owners are in favor of, now the government wants to intervene and restrict this trend.

That bill in NC is now waiting a senate vote and overall it just looks like they're being fairly productive with their state time by considering this issue, doesn't it ?
