Whats with trucks jacked up in the front and down in the back

We have a lot of trucks here that have been rises both front and rear with 4 links and looks good but not my thing, more into old fat fender trucks. Lately we have been seeing trucks that has been raised up in the front and lowered in the rear, Why they look like crap and make the truck basically worthless?
Thanks

They call that the Carolina Squat around here. The governor outlawed it a few months back, though I still see a few around. It looks dumber than when we used to jack up our cars in the rear when I was a teenager back in the 19?'"<.>(s)....lol

I had a 62 chevy jacked up but only about 2", nothing like these. I call them Ghetto cruisers because they can now lean back in the seats while driving.

We used to call that "the detroit lean"-----the jackwagons would almost lay down sideways on the front bench seat while driving--even made the pimps laugh!

I figured they did that jacked up front to lean the seat back, Just looks so stupid. I guess trucks arn't for work anymore.

yup. "carolina squat", which is an offshoot of the "cali lean".
it is done so you can not see what is in front of you until you run it over and get out to see what you hit.
properly done, the rear bumper should be dragging on the pavement, and the front bumper should be at least 6 foot off the pavement.
