Re: slam look or the rake look

The perfect stance to me is having all the wheels look like they are in the same spot relative to the fender opening. Since the front opening is higher than the rear, you will get a slight rake by doing it this way. Boatpuller's truck nails it in my opinion.

That's about the best way I heard to describe the perfect stance. It's what I tried to accomplish.

mine has a slight rake...but its lowered all around, + I prefer the bignlittle look, more of a drag race stance.
I like this look...I can remember in cars we'd try out used springs in the junk yard,looking for harder ones to keep it up,pile on the weight to get the shock bolts in lol
