Um why would you want that look? But hell if your gonna tear up a good truck just put a good amount of weight in the back, get a propane torch or 2 and heat up the rear springs. That should really give you that look

just crank your torsion bars up and that should give you a the "bulldog" or "cali lean" look your going for. personally I like it too but I don't need to be killing my gas mileage just for the look

To each his own some people like it, i being one of them i think alot of things are stupid as ***k to but im not bashing on anyone so you shouldnt be either.

Anyway bud what i did for the look was remove the rear block and added a add a leaf and a 1inch lift shackle here is the result, the front is about 2.5inches higher.

Honestly I really like the way this looks mine sits up 1/2in higher than the rear and I love the way it looks but IMO it looks 1000x better than the rake that they come with
