Agreed. I see it all night long, 1/2 up, 1/3 up. I just shake my head. Just plain laziness. Although, D.O.T. says 4 inches is legal, that may be, but we all know on high crown roads and tracks, that's not gonna cut it.

Plus with all the rubber, road kill, and other debris on the road, who would want to run the risk of damaging the legs?!
