Correct. But if you're raising the vehicle, why would you leave the bumper lower? What functional purpose would that provide you in navagating rough terrain or high snow, for example?

We do and are not opposing this simply because it pertains to something with four wheels and an engine. This legislation effects a large community nationwide, particularly in Oregon. If we allow this to pass, off-road enthusiasts in Oregon would be relegated to paying to bring their vehicles into compliance, not to mention the loss they would take on the parts/labor they can no longer use. Going further, it impacts their choice to do what they deem necessary for their own vehicle. If this legislation does pass, I'm certain you will see home-made remedies to bring bumpers into compliance, odds are they'll be bubblegum and duct tape soltutions that won't be very unsafe.
SEMA and SAN are very reasonable. Just check out our common sense model legislation for things like inoperable vehicles, exhaust noise, and registering/titling street rod and customs.

It is proposed knowing full well it won't pass, but will be a feather in some dumbasses cap come next election...

This legislation is certainly unfair and misguided. However, EVERY piece of legislation has the chance to pass. That's why its important to stand-up and vocally oppose this.
