Am I just nuts?

Ok, a couple months ago, I upgraded to 17" wheels from 15" wheels. I really like the look of the new wheels and all, but I don't like the way it seemed to have altered the stance. It seems as if it sits a bit taller with the larger wheels. My truck has a 3.5/5 drop and I've always liked the stance, but it also always had 15's. Now, though, with the 17's, I find my self wanting it to sit a bit lower(about an inch) all around.

I'm thinking of switching to a 2" front spring and getting a 1.5" block for the rear. I can have the blocks for the rear machined if it's too much. I may have it machined with about a 4 deg. angle to adjust the pinion angle as well.

What do you think? Am I just ? Or do you agree?

With 17's now.



How she sat with 15's.
