COLUMBIA — State lawmakers are once again attempting to ban the controversial pickup and SUV modification known as the 'Carolina Squat' after a similar effort fell apart at the 11th hour of the last regular legislative session.'The circumstances are pretty much the same, and the bill's pretty much the same, and the danger is still the same,' said Rep. Mike Burns, R-Taylors, who prefiled a bill to ban the Carolina Squat. 'This is a common-sense solution to a problem we're letting exist right now.'The Carolina Squat refers to a modification in which a pickup or SUV is lifted on the front axle and lowered or maintained in place in the rear, jacking the front of the truck up in the air.
