As we move into July there are some new laws going into effect in the state of Georgia. Squatted trucks are no longer legal. As of yesterday it’s illegal to drive a truck with the front end raised higher than the rear. The law is designed to help improve road safety with better visibility and control. If your vehicle has a gross weight between 4,000 and 7,500 pounds the front end cannot be more than four inches above or below the rear. If your truck is modified this way, make sure you adjust it to avoid fines and penalties.
