Lowering in Missouri
Missouri has no statute limiting how low a vehicle may be. General equipment rules — headlamp height, working lighting, nothing dragging on the road — still apply.

What the law says
No Missouri statute sets a minimum ride height, bumper height, or ground clearance for lowered vehicles. RSMo § 307.172 caps bumper height at 22 inches front and rear on non-commercial vehicles, but that is a ceiling on lifting — there is no floor.
