Show answer and explanation
Trucks with lifted suspensions that ride noticeably higher in front than in back ('squatted' modifications). Mississippi has a specific anti-squatting statute making it illegal to raise a vehicle's front fender 4 or more inches higher than the rear fender, a rule aimed at lifted/modified trucks.
