Truck looks awesome man, good work! Love the stance, somehow makes those Torque Thrusts look even cooler

You aint the only one driving a little more careful these days...I lowered my truck about 6/7 inches, and the very first time I drove it, scraped half my exhaust system off just pulling out of my driveway, lol!!

Your truck looks killer! But going an inch lower in the rear would kill that look!
I like that rake!
What difference does the forward movement on the LCA make when you drive?
Is it visible in the when you look from the side?

You can only tell by looking at the front and seeing that the wheel is actually more center in the wheel well opening. It seems like the steering is way more responsive and when I'm taking a hairpin corner the front end stays glued and doesnt push out

Do it!
Put in some 1 or 2" lowering blocks and install a set of air shocks in the back so you can adjust the height. Thats what I did. I get about 3" of adjustment. Its good for when you want to haul something in the back like a dirtbike. You can air it up so its not bottoming out. CHeap and easy.

Well I have another notch up on the rear shackle to lower it some more. But I'm going with bilsteins all around. No air shocks for me lol I want to keep my teeth in my my mouth
