CT used to have a law about bumper height. It was hilarious to see a lifted
pickup with a bumper down a foot or more from the bottom of the grill.

I have long been of the opinion that modifications like that should not
be allowed. Even from the factory, I suggest that all vehicles on the
road should have their bumpers at the same height and that all lights
should be at a uniform height. Sports cars and semi truck tractors
should all be required to conform. If you want to lift your pickup truck
for off-roading, then you wouldn't be permitted to drive it on the road.
