Default Squatting

Has anyone heard of people "squatting" their trucks?

By squat do you just mean lower?
Because if you do and it is 4wd you can just loosen the torsion key bolts and that will drop the front end.
You will need an alignment after that.

Wait a sec. If your truck is 04+ it won't have torsion bars and that won't work. Woops.

I thought that squatting is when the back is lower than the front.

yes its when you are towing a trailer or have a load in the back of your truck and the back is lower than the front.

and the people that bag and lower thier trucks do it on purpose and drag the rear to make sparks because they think it looks cool. i think its retarded and a waste of a truck personally.

He may be talking about pre runner trucks. How the front is actually lifted an inch or two higher than the rear.
