I think that looks really good. Everything looks proportional.

Looks like the back needs to drop a touch more to have it level.
How does it drive?

Yea, every Day I'm Contemplating getting the 2" Drop Hangers to give the Rear a Full 5" Drop.
But I gotta get my Front Rubbing Issue taken care of First. Because I don't wanna go Down 2 more Inches in the Back, then have to Lower the Front even more, and Rub even worse than it is now.
Hell, if I though it would be Safe, I'd run with no Fender Liners. I just don't want Water getting to Places it shouldn't. The only Place it Rubs the most is on the Rear of the Liner against the Cab. So if I could Cut that Piece off, and everything would be ok, I'd do that.
It Drives Great for the most part. The Handling is awesome now. I just gotta get my Solid Front Sway Bar on, and I'll be HANGIN' Turns.

It looks about right now. The right posture, more like I would think it might be stock without any offroad type options.
Mine went up a little with taller wheels/tires and its still lower than yours, but yeah looks really long.
I want to lower my front end a couple inches for better aerodynamics, what is an acceptable angle for the back being higher? Its level right now.

Well, here we are. All done with the Lowering. All-in-all this should be about a 3/5 Drop. Front and Rear are exactly 21" from the Wheel Center to the Bottom of the Top of the Fender Flare.
I think it looks Baddass now. :thumbsup:
1st Pic is with it Stock Height in the Back and Torsions Cranked all the way Up. 2nd Pic is with 3" Lowering Shackles in the Rear and Torsions adjusted to even things out. 3rd Pic is Today, with 3" Shackles 2" Hangers in the Rear, and 2" Lowering Keys 5 Turns Out in the Front.

That's too much work. Airbags. I actually almost did them in the Front. They make a 100% Bolt On Kit I found.
