Next they'll be saying my black truck is dangerous because it's not as
visible at night, right?

I can see how a 6-inch drop plus super-low profile tires on tiny rims
could be dangerous, but as long as you keep stock (or close to stock)
rims & tires and the lowering kit adjusts for the changed angles on the
suspension components, is it really that dangerous?

How about if they go after the things that can be proven, like CR-Vs
flipping in side-impact collisions?
