- In todays video we talk about why people squat their trucks. What is the reason behind it? Does it make the vehicle unsafe to drive and useless as a working truck?

I'm 45 and I like lifted , I like slammed but squatted is like a gender confused bisexual vehicle lol.
Ok bro most the ppl squatting the vehicles are under the age of 20 you’re 45 and you’re hating on people that are 20 and under at least mostly the fuck people have different opinions. If you don’t like it, you can suck a dick from the back.
😂😂😂
Lmao why is thiss so accura
Well said!! I grew up in the greatest era of hot rods and trucks, I don't get this, but bless their little hearts, participation trophies all around.
The only time my truck squats is when my girlfriend sits on the tailgate
If she aint 280 she aint a lady😤
Omg🤣🤣 sorry I'll have to remember that one hahaha
Hahahahahahahahaha
@@hexrah2669 I like if she ain’t 480 she ain’t a lady bahahah
What is she fat
I squat my truck by actually using it for what it was built for, work, hauling and towing.
I'm 49 - my f150 is leveled - I do not like the squatted fad. I admire the lifted and slammed but think the squatted look is pointless.
Idk man baby sqauts are nice
Rumpshakah 😷😷😷
Leveled are useless. Slammed are useless. By your logic any mods are useless. It’s all preference
Justin Stanley Leveled lifts are great for off-roading, while slammed is good for going fast and cornering.
@@Sobriety5424 Squating a 4x4 is more useless than lowering a 2wd.
The only time mine squats is when its towing...🤙🔥
literally the only time mine will be squatted
Yasss
I pull a ghost trailer
😂😂 hecka cool probally haul so much
Shit mine never squats even when pulling
I’m 23, I like leveled trucks the most, but I’d rather squat than rake
big facts right there!
Couldnt have said it better
So true squat is better then rake
I’d rather have rake than squat
Rake is a factory thing because of aero Dynamics, trucks get bad enough gas mileage as it is, having the front end up with any truck is going to increase drag which will worsen gas mileage, plus the motors oil system wasn't made to constantly pump oil uphill and when turned off oil drains to the back making dry starts more evident which increases damage to the front piston rings so, Squat is useless and a problem causer,
I’m 20 me personally I don’t mind a squatted truck but I rather have it leveled
I've heard ppl call it the "invisible trailer".....bc it's like you're pulling a heavy trailer.
@@supergirl109 same! It just looks dumb not to mention how no oil gets to the engine cause it’s all pushed back and you can’t even see while driving!
Im looking at buying a 94 silverado and somebody just put the lift on the front but it comes with block
Im 18, i love both looks. I have a 2006 3/4 ton chevy (gas) thats leveled and also have a 1997 chevy tahoe with a leveling kit and 2 inch drop shackles. Both are sitting on 33x12.5 tires. The Hoe is on some 15x10 pro comp 69 series and the 6.0 is on some 20x12 arkons. I also like both the old school look and the new look on trucks, hence the reason i have one of each flavor. Keep up the great content man🤟🏼
i personally wouldn’t squat mine. but some squats are clean af.
I’m 75 and I love squated trucks me and my grandson installed his lift on his truck it was a 9 inch Fts up front and no blocks with 2 inch drop shackles in the rear. He is in DI and yes we are going to Myrtle beach nationals in March
J Productions wow 9 inch with 2 inch drop shackles?! Is he looking at the sun all the time? Ps l live the squat look!
Levi Henson plus he’s got his keys maxed out so yeah he’s tooted but that’s my grandson so I support him no matter what people say about us
J Productions for sure!
DI as in Daniel Island?

Im 20 and i love squatted trucks. I was into stance cars for a while and people say the same thing about negative camber “its not safe” “it looks stupid” etc. and so on. But its different. Its an attention grabber and whether its negative or positive attention the build is still grabbing attention and breaking necks.
44 July this year..... First, your trucks are nice man (looks and sounds). I've been a Chevy Truck guy since I ever had my own automobile but I do respect and admire other manufactures too. (currently own a all black 2014 Silvy) For me.....I personally careless if a truck (or car for that matter) is lowered, lifted, squatted, leveled, or not touched at all.... I always say "It's your ride and if y'all enjoy what you drive and your happy with what you done to it cosmetically.. Kudos.. Its a nice ride." I personally don't mess with the suspension or engine related stuff in my truck(s). Ill do the aftermarket wheels, lights, and exhaust. But that is about it (I know...boring to most peeps). But I like my end results and I drive happy.. In the words of the lead singer Barney Greenway of my favorite band, Napalm Death, "We like to think people do share our views but people should be individuals, that why you got a brain for...If everybody shared the same views, life would be boring."
More like looking at them laughing!🤣🤣
Not A SQUAT fan, but to each his own. I am a level fan.Maybe even a little rake, depending on the vehicle.
I am 21 and I like squated trucks I got one just like Larry but mine is a 99 Ford F-150 but it’s the same body style. Anyway love the videos keep up the good work
Currently have a 2.5 inch level on my 2004 f150 and I’m considering taking out the rear blocks. Anyone know how much it’s going to affect the ride quality?
I know I’m a year late but it will affect it zero I have a level and took out blocks and put 2in drop shackles
I’m 44 and I respect new styles. When I was young the fad was go as low as you could go. When my dad was young it was as high as you could go in the rear. In my opinion a mild squat looks pretty dang good. At first I hated it but it’s grown on me. I personally wouldn’t have one but hey, I’m 44 now. My daily is a leveled ‘19 Trailboss on 20’s with 35’s. Love your channel young man. Keep up the good content.
I like the baby lean both your trucks have I wouldnt call it squated but everyone has their own ( Opinion ) and I respect that trucks look great man and the videos are looking even better keep up the awesome work
16, farm kid , I think it’s fucking stupid but what these looked like ain’t that bad
19, about to lean my a little to fit bigger wheels and tires. Just gonna be a 3 inch spacer lift. Like the leaned look on both. Only time I hate squat is when it’s like 7 yo front and drop shackles in the rear with 24-26 reps on rubber band street tires
I’m 18 and I honestly don’t like “star gazing” if u know what I mean I honestly love the lean ur trucks have and honestly love the setup u have on ur Silverado could u tell me what rims they are??
Honestly?
It's not mentioned enough but handling is greatly improved with a nice slight baja lean, almost every trophy truck/prerunner build is nose hight for this reason, so nose dose not dig into corners, all the motor weight over the front and low weight in back made to be safe from factory wiTH a load yet every turn you take even around town with a kicked up rear...it sucks, compared to slightly more high, feels planted af and corners 10x greater... that's also how the baja trucks sling around corners with greater stability etc..etc.

I'm 18 almost 19 I used to not like squatted trucks at all but after getting my 95 Chevy c1500 and experimenting with looks I have grown to like the level up front with some 2in drop shackles just look aggressive
3in lvl kit with a 1-2” drop shackle in the back is the best. I personally only do 1” drop in the back
Looking to get a inch and half lowering kit How low would that drop the back of my truck it's got a leveling kit on the front already Chevy Silverado truck 2wd
Im 34 and im indecisive. I love the look of a level lifted and squatted truck. Im sitting stock right now and cant decide what i want to do.
Lift it don’t squat it
I don’t like squatted trucks but I do like this channel! Keep making good videos man you won’t get any hate from me!
What happens when you put a heavy load in your truck you just drag the bummmer with spark flying?
Love the f150! I prefer lifted or stock height, actually I own a flare side f150 and couldn't imagine seeing it squatted but good looking rides squatting aside.
stock height it lower in the front, it’s all personal taste
Man I'm a gm guy but that ford is looking nice buddy!
Good Video! I am 66 and prefer for my truck to be level. To each his own. I pull a boat with mine. I also haul things when needed. I live in Interlachen Florida and we have a lot of squatted trucks around here. Your trucks have a moderate good looking squat, not a sick squat. Some are so squatted I am surprised they are even street legal! Never get discouraged from peoples negative feedback. There are a lot of Assholes out there.
33, my truck has a little squat, 1997 f150 4wd. It had more but with 33x11 r16 the tires looked tiny in front and it bothered me so I dropped it about 1.5 inches in the front. It has a 4" bracket lift in front and 2" lift blocks w/ helper bags in back. Just how I bought it. It's a retired forest ranger truck. I dont mind mild squat. It is what it is. I dont like big wheels either but to each their own. Keep it up.
56, yours look OK to me. Any more than what you've done tho and I don't like it. The headlights are pointing up, and I'd worry about lubrication issues with the extreme angles. I do like them leveled but yours are OK. They sound great! I was wondering tho, did the squat thing start with someone wanting to just lower the tailgate and drive a 4 wheeler up there?
Oh and what does "slammed" mean?
I am 36 soon to be 37 this Sunday I love squatted trucks and I wanted to do mine but becouse of NC and their rules they have banned squatted trucks in NC. But I am here to tell you that I am a fan of squatted trucks and I have no problem with it
If you lower your truck, then when you load it, you're going to risk grazing that rear wheel with the fender leading to all sorts of trouble. So in order to comensate you're going to need to stiffen the suspension which means any hole and such would mean you may end up giving shocks to yer passengers and risk twisting the frame over a pothole.
I'm 38, I love lifted trucks. But I also like the slammed and "baby squated trucks. When the trucks are super squated, I don't like it. It's dangerous and is a hazard to other drivers. As for Larry and Baby squat, beautiful trucks man and they sound awesome. Because of you, I have straight piped my truck. 2012 Chevy Silverado Texas edition 4X4. Keep posting your videos and doing what your doing. I love your content.
Is 3/5 on the truck even or 4/6`
What you do to make your rear like this ?
I’m 21 I like squat in moderation but mine is leveled I pull trailers a good bit. I think you should get you some tow mirrors and see how they would look
Im 48 and had my 2013 F150 leveled and squats one inch in the back sitting on 20x9 Fuel Disels and I never thought I would like it but its ever so squat I like it!
I'm 27 and I like the leaned look. I have an 08 Silverado 3.5 in the front stock in the back with 35s. I've been seriously thinking about taking the stock blocks out the rear.
Where did you get the all white tail lights?
26
If you're towing or have something heavy in the back, an inch to an inch and a half of squat due to suspension setup, I'm cool with it. I'm a leveled truck guy cause I use mine for what its built for. If it's 4inch lift in the front and 2inch drop, count me out or anything higher than 4 in the front and a drop shackle of any size in the rear. That's just my opinion
I got a 03 cat eye 6 inch in the front stock in the rear on 24s and 35s. Im 32 years old and fuckn love this shit.
I squat so hard the rear bumper causes sparks goin down the highway. Makes it look like flames are shooting out the 6in tips
My age is 15 I have a Ford F-150 and it has a 3 inch lift kit on it but you trucks bro are just right they sound like a boss
I’m not a huge fan of huge squat but there are some trucks that can pull it off pretty, but all builds are appreciated 👍
im 13 and i really want a squatted truck because it looks really good, i hope its still in style when i get my truck. i think i want an 05 cateye. on some 26 inch flakes.
I’m 16 I love both your trucks and fw squated trucks
Hey man I can’t remember but did u say you do or don’t have an engine light with that 3rd cat cut off?
No lights
I'm 22 and I live in Lancaster Pennsylvania, I drive probably the only squat truck in pa, and everyone hates me😅 I love it though, that's all that matters.
Not true man I live in nesquehoning and I've seen a few squatted fords and Chevy's even a squatted Tahoe.
@@devonvinson5559 really? Everyone makes fun of me for it, I only know of one other one near me. Mines really squated though. 2" drop shackles and I removed the 4"lift block lol
@@williamackerman2605 let em hate man its yo ride you put your money into it not them.
I'm 33 and it not nothing with ur video keep up the good work let all the haters talk they r ur truck I will still watch ur videos and I have a 07 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab I'm thinking about Leveled off mine truck but I knw bigger tires is not cheap either so keep up the good work and making video
I like them leveled. Hate huge wheels and rubber band wide tires. But I grew up in the era of lifted trucks and 15 inch rims. Back then the new trucks with 17s were huge
you say there not problems with squatted truck's . i see a ton of problems .
1 You blind the hell out of everyone at night
2 you limit your field of view
3 you starve you tranny of fluid
4 you run the risk of blowing the rear tranny seal out an losing the fluid ( on the road can cause a wreck)
5.you limit on what you can pull
6 it looks like shit
7 there no meaning behind it . Lifted truck mean bigger tire's for the mud
8 lowered truck bigger flashy rim's
9 just look like a haft ass lift job who couldn''t afford a full lift kit
putting pipe''s on my truck with cherry bombs 1973 ram 250 with the 5.9 360 sound's good
same with my z71 with a 454
same with my z71 350 4 bolt main bore to a 383 stroker
same with my 1993 ford Flair side with the 351 W
same with my Chevy c10 Cyclone
I love the rumble. but not to loud i can't hear my on dam horn
yea it a personal view of things on what mod's you wanna do .
but what since does it make how does it help you.
i have bigger pipe's on my truck so my truck can breath better
so i take my truck put 50 rice patty tire''''s in the front an put go cart tire'''s in the back . i do not get it by no mean
There's one black squat that runs up and down my busy street ..he installed electric cutouts and it's LOUD..sometimes he only opens 1 side which, in my opinion, sounds horrible. Many times he makes about a 2 mile run down the road, hooks left on RT17 goes about another mile, makes another left in a looped road..which is residential..and truck can be heard from my house the entire 3-4 mile route.
an hour later he does it again. Maybe the squat setup looks OK to him and it is his truck..but that exhaust !!!I feel like throwing a big rock at it every time he comes down the road with the cutouts open
I’m 17 and I personally don’t like the squatted look. I’d rather slam a old school truck and put it on some baby billets and some fatty tires or level out most trucks with some simple 33s. I kinda think simple and clean is the way to go on a truck and don’t like the flashy outlandish styles but to each is own. At the end of the day whatever you do to your truck is personal preference and if it brings a smile to your face who cares what anybody else says.
Leanin since 2008 when I got my first Z71
34 with a 2018 Ram 1500. Got a 3.5 inch kit in the front so a little squat. Noting to bad. Bout all I’d want though. Both truck look really good.
Thanks for sharing that information, I was just simply curious as to what the fad is all about, it is not what I would do but that does not matter, whatever you like as long as you are safe driving down the road.
Except it isn't safe. It wears out suspension unevenly, it puts more stress and wear on your engine and transmission, and these retards don't adjust their headlights and many even install LEDs, on top of it all. There is a multitude of good reasons, that vehicles don't come out of factories like this and there's a reason most of the people who drive these, do not know how to work on their own shit...
Looks good have you ever thought about putting 14’s wide would look insane...
Level the truck and trim the fenders correctly and cleanly then pack some big tires in and make it so they clear perfect. You can get that stuffed tire look and functionality.
Baby squat should get some color matched tow mirrors and maybe a tool box, turn it into a new Larry. Also maybe a roll pan conversion.
Im 18 have a 88 k1500 that I'm restoring i like a 3inch level and a little squat but not a 6inch inch and squat but they are definitely an attention catcher
I’m 18 and I prefer Raked trucks, but if you prefer squatted trucks over leveled or raked trucks then that’s completely fine. You do you man, and I’ll respect it either way. I’m gonna do what I like to do still and that’s driving around in raked trucks beat all to hell with it’s ass in the air, and no exhaust on it with giant ass mud tires. Oh by the way I should mention that I’m not a big fan of stock trucks because most trucks need to be modded to function properly according to your needs anyways.
Your truck look pretty nice, the people that catch hate are the ones running a 12 inch lift in the front and drop shackles in the rear, with their bumpers 3 inches from the ground
That is actually pretty modest when it comes to squatted trucks. ( Your trucks) That doesn't look that bad. But the ones that I see running around town that has at least a 12 inch lift or more in the front and the rear it's dropped down so low that it's damn near touching the tires... That kind of setup is completely absurd in my opinion. Lord knows what it is doing to the engine and transmission with the fluid sitting at the back of the pans. Plus I don't know how the hell the extreme squated ones can be safe to drive. You can't see for quite a distance in front of you and there is no way that your lights do you any good at night
I'm 42 BTW.
It’s the whole stigma around the squares truck style. Anything over 2” squatted brings bad rep. Makes u think “young kid with daddy’s credit card going around town revving up all the time” I’m 31 in south GA
Love your Trucks !!!!
I’m 17, I like level trucks, stock trucks and lowered trucks and if there is a little bit of squat it looks alright but an 11” lift up front with drop shackles in the back is ridiculous.
I'm 50yrs old I like the leveling but that is the new trend of squatting cause my boy 19yrs old want to do that to his 2014 Ford F150 after he put a 5" lift....But I will support him.
Stupid is, as Stupid is.
I’m 24, about to buy me a Tahoe, I would like to squat it slightly. Maybe like 3inch in front, -2 in back? Maybe? Not sure but I do like a little lean, but not to extreme!
Your trucks do look awesome
I’m 21 from lower Alabama and I like a little bit of lean but there is a point where it’s just too much. I have a 4” spindle lift in the front and no blocks in the back and it looks mean imo.
This was a fantastic video that may very well have opened many peoples eyes. I know I have a better understanding, if no appreciation of the squat. I am 48 years old. My dad ran his cars with wide rear tires and some rake with the rear end up a few inches higher than the front. When I got into cars, I was drawn to classic muscle cars, but the trend was to slam everything to the ground (cars, trucks, I even remember a Geo Tracker that had a body kit and you could barely fit your hand between the body and the road). I never grew out of the muscle car thing, and I love a good sleeper, but I remember my dad talking about how dumb it was to lower a truck.. He used to say, "if you want a car, buy a car, don't destroy a perfectly good truck". LOL... we were all young and wanted to stand out at one time, and most will grow old and be set in our ways.
I am 22 and I love squat 🤷🏼♂️😂💯 love the vids! Keep it up!
I'm 20 and I think a mild squat looks clean but I don't really like the extreme lifting in the front and slamming in the back
I'm 17 and I love squatted trucks I have 7.5 in in the front and -3 in the back of my f150
I know this is late, but how much did it cost ?
Voke Toni I went the cheap rout 3 inch coil spacer $60 4.5 inch spindle $500 3 inch drop shackles $30
You tell your parents you a homosexual yet?
What roof rack is that
I'm 14 at first I hated squatted trucks but I love them now
17 thinking of raising the front but dad said as long as I'm under his roof he ain't letting me😢
I don’t hate it. But I’m assuming you don’t tow with it? I have a 3500hd and I tow. So squatting is not an option for me. Kinda looks weird to me.
19 love squatted trucks just waiting on taking my over load springs or blocks out due to me not knowing if I can still tow
Age 36, I like the idea of squatted trucks but I don't like the extreme squats. The angle you had on your chevy is perfect for me...i want to lightly squat my gmc envoy but instead of the super wide wheel n tire setup, I want to put some offset 24s or 26s with low pro street tires
Squatting does have a use before it was a look. Baja racers would squat trucks to prevent nosediving a jump. They’d still be lifted in the back but the front would be real high with really long suspension arms.
Larry has only furthered my want for mud graps
Im 17, i like the baby lean but i hate when a tuck has a 12 inch lift in the front and no block and drop shackles in the rear, you cant see anything :\
30 Awesome trucks man I like the squat look keep making these cool videos brother
Mods that don’t improve your vehicles usefulness, comfort, or versatility is stupid unless your treating it like a full on show vehicle
Anything in between is throwing money out the window
People like what they like but people like stupid shit sometimes and it should be laughed at or else it becomes the norm
The one good thing about squatted trucks is loading your dirt bike or four wheeler in the bed
Did he straight pipe the f150?
I’m 17 and I really do like the squat with a rear lift in or level and stick in the reae
I’m 17 I love the squatted look I got a 96 Chevy c1500 that’s squatted
36.. Im definitely into em.. Waitin on my 3inch lift kit now and im in D.C... Neva let the haters win my guy
I’m 96. The squat Iooks good imo especially on Larry. I still prefer leveled for myself.
Old as hell
Hey brother, it's your truck man! If it makes you grin ear to ear seeing squatted, squat on! Haters hate, that's there job and you are helping them stay employed. I Like the look of your ford, do the back tires have rub issues? I'm 43, and drive a '17 Silverado 4x4 z71.
I'm 40 and I love a lifted truck and respect lowered trucks. My Avalanche 2500 has a 7" lift, lockers, 35s, 20x12s, magnaflows, tint, two 10s in the back, light bar, etc. But for the life of me I don't understand the extreme squat. It just looks ridiculous to me. But no hate intended, to each his own! I just wish I could understand it. I guess that's a sign of being old.
How many people who squat their trucks actually do real work with them and haul trailers though?
I’m 23 I like the 6 inch lift and up trucks I like the squat if it’s only a inch or two plan on doing 8 inch lift on the next truck I buy.
You said not to get to deep on the reason or over think why,...... That it's just a look.
But earlier in the video you said it's because people want big rims that require big wheels which need a raised front end to fit. So which is it?
There can be more than one reason to do something.
I'm not one of those SqUaT eVeRyThInG people but I don't dislike it, if you know what I mean. Loving the Larry vids man
