Totally disagree with your comment and any comparison between lowering a 911 and a lifted truck. A lowered vehicle does not take the head off of the occupants of a car with the stock or legal ride height.

I could care less why they increase the ride height, it does not matter one iota to me. What does matter is safety and they can increase them as high as needed ONCE THEY ARE OFF OF THE ROAD but not while they are driving on the same roads as the rest of the public are! Jeeps, trucks, I could care less what vehicle it is, we all have to obey the same laws and we all should be safe!
Yup; what Joe said. That, and I would think the increased liability exposure would be a deterrent to their owners, but it doesn't seem to be. I wonder if insurance can refuse to pay when a truck has been illegally lifted like that, leaving the owner hanging in the breeze.
