      LOL...tell me about it.

      Car looks screaming,that's the same tire setup I run on mine,are those 10" wide rears too?

      Curious though,measure from the top of the wheelwells to the ground and tell me where your car sits,mine's 22.75" in front and 23.75" in the rear.

      Right now my driver side is at `23" and my passenger side is at 22.5". My rear is right at 25". I am going to raise my driver side a .5" and my passenger side up 1" and see how it looks than go from there.

      Justin,

      Lookin sweet with the new stance bud. I think that picture from that angle probably does make your rear look taller than it is... when you get a chance, take a down low photo from the front quarter, and I bet it will look completely different.

      My pleasure, again, to help you bud. Looking forward to working with you on your truck next! ;)

      Here's a similar-angle picture to compare:

      not big on the coilover setups for a stock front subframe. I can adjust the front ride height up to 2" with the SPC lower control arms. Now the rear is a different story. If I could do it over I would have went with the G-Bar for the rear in the beginning but everything in the rear is new and I really dont want to eat all that money switching over.

      musclecarjohn, what are you running for the rear suspension? Your stance is what I am going for but I really have to watch the collectors on my headers.

      I didn't realize you could do that with the SPC LCAs.

      It is nice being able to set the ride height especially in the front so can be pretty low but still have enough clearance for headers to not rub.

      You could probably still use your existing rear end (just have to weld on the G-Bar tabs on the axle). Just have to swap out the leaf springs and shocks.

      Being able to set the ride height on all 4 corners was huge for me.
