Re: stance help

I'd go with a more level look. Higher in the front never looks right to me.

I'm also tired of the old school "rake" look (jacked in the back). IMO!

Re: stance help

I still like the raked look if you are going low. Is it just me or is the front suspension sitting to far back?

Re: stance help

I also prefer a more level appearance with little, if any rake.
