4x4 stance question

[The Dude]

i know practically all of you guys are lowered truck fans but i figured i would still ask your opinion anyway. my problem is that my stock shackles are grinding away at the collectors of my long tube headers. i figured there are 2 ways to fix this:
1) buy new headers like shorties or something and get my exhaust redone or
2) buy 1 1/2 - 2 in lift shackels for the front. with these the truck would have a little bit of the "cali ass squatin" look that is so popular 12in lift up front and 10in lift out back. i dont want to level it out with block because i hate lift blocks, so it would just sit front high.
so then i guess my question is do you think the truck would look dumb like that, i like the look but have never seen it done on a 73-87 truck or any truck with front leaf springs for that matter. thanks for your opinions.
