That stupid ass squat got popular here in Riverside and San Bernardino area because of the lowrider (owners) who started getting Suburbans, Blazers, Broncos, Navigators, Excursions and such ...

They wanted to fit 20" and 22" rims with low pro tires and had to have the front lifted more than the back to do this of course ... with the mini trucks in the late 80s and early 90s always driving around with the nose up in the air and the tails dragging they started doing this on their trucks and SUVs, but then the lifted truck crowd wanted to lift their trucks but have low profile tires on 20", 22", 24" rims and liked the stupid squat look that they could achieve by just putting spacers in the front ...

I worked for a rim shop and we did a lot of Cali Leans there .... they wanted the lift but still wanted a lowrided look to it lol ...

This is what they were going for but it was later taken over by the guys who just wanted a lifted truck

Looks way better on lowered trucks than it does with lifted trucks

Not only Cali lean explained but mate the concept with some Dip Dissshhh 24's wheels with streched and no sidewall tires and wheel you get the idea :). This wasn't the Cali lean from the 90's though, this i guess is the new ugliness of the Cali Lean from couple of years ago until recent as the dude stated.
