I had NO idea this was a thing, until I saw it on another forum in a thread called "worst automotive trends". I think this is really a regional thing, primarily int he south.

When I first put the lift on my Cruiser I was only able to do the front end the first weekend. Drove around like this for a week before I could do the rear. I think I'd take this over stance purely because of the vehicle itself. I mean I guess it kinda looks like you have a load in the back?

Good God. That's stupid.

Kinja'd!!!

Exactly what is the point of doing that? I see no logical purpose, Nor do I see any other function. Besides of course, making it look like an old Lincoln with broken air suspension.

Yea no air ride but the springs are just worn after 130k. Civilian model so the spring rate is a little on the softer side from the factory

This was a thing with cars in the early 60's too. Gassers with a high center of gravity hooked better at the strip. Then it was emulated by streetcar guys that dialed out their ignition advance on an otherwise stock car to give it a rough cammy idle. Didnt matter to them that they were slower. Kind of like a 4wd truck that doesnt offroad.
