Brazil is an amazing country with equally amazing people. This is also why you can see many strange cars here. What are the local trucks with the rear end raised? Domestic motorists sometimes have hair on end from such delights. It's time to find out the real reason why local drivers agree to this kind of tuning.
It should be noted right away that in Brazil the majority of motorists have a rather specific attitude towards working cars and, first of all, towards trucks. The local "hard workers" are tuned brightly, variegated and varied. All this is done in order to give the trucks a sportier look. Beauty, as you know, is a terrible force. Chromed wheels and bright painting of the cab (and body) are not all that can surprise the locals. Much more attention is drawn to the refinement of the truck's suspension.
Interesting fact: something similar was popular in the early 2000s on the territory of the former USSR, although they did tuning the suspension exclusively for passenger cars. Primarily for Nines and Ten.
In some cases, the front of a truck in Brazil will drop as low as the bumper can allow. It is interesting that if in domestic open spaces such things were done by installing stands under shock absorbers, then in Brazil, a tuning studio built a whole business in the production of modernization kits rear springs.
So why is this done? In fact, such tuning does not carry any utilitarian meaning and is characterized by the well-known expression about "show-off". In Brazil, suspension modification is a true driving subculture. And there is a problem with that. In 2014, the country's authorities finally took on trucks, tractors and trailers. Were introduced norms within which you can pull up the back. In addition, now Brazilians are forced to register modifications of this kind with the police. Of course, the law enforcement officers after 2014 have more work. The traffic police measure the effects of tuning literally with a tape measure.

For violation of the established norms, Brazilians are fined rather severely. This is because driving such a truck is not very safe. If only because the "weight distribution" is violated and the car becomes much more difficult to control. However, fans of "show-off" never stop. By the way, the installation of a huge monolithic mudguard in the rear is also a mandatory part of the program for beautifying your favorite truck in Brazil.
