Lowering in Montana
Montana 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 Montana statute sets a minimum ride height, bumper height, or ground clearance for lowered vehicles. MCA § 61-9-430 requires front and rear bumpers to exist but sets no height for them, and Title 61 chapter 9 contains no frame-height or clearance provision.
