Dumped, a term we used in the 50's to describe a car that was lowered, mostly in the front but could apply to the rear as well. A dumped car usually had one or more coils in the front cut or a dropped axle on straight axle cars.
To me lowered means all the way around, but does not apply to tail draggers.
Remember, I'm very old school, stuck in the 50's and early 6o's when it comes to cars and trucks.
Other descriptions we used were "huffer, blower and wheezer to described a super charged engine.
