Quite the transformation, I'd say!

Umm...that way more than 1" lean and I don't know anyone who likes that. It REALLY looks bad when you're throttling it and it squats in the rear even more. The people on this forum just know what looks good, so no we're not fans if something doesn't look right. If you like it then well...enough said. BTW a lift and tires isn't really much of a transformation, believe me I know.

Nah man. It's only an inch, I've measured. Sorry y'all don't like it here! It seems to get a lot of positive attention on all of my social media accounts and from people around town. It's all good though, I can respect differing opinions!

The looks of it are subjective and the least of concern, and I'm not gonna bash someone for what looks appealing to them just like I don't bash a guy for finding men more attractive than women. My concern is the physical and mechanical defuncts such as horrible aerodynamics causing lift at highway speeds and the poor suspension and steering geometries reducing control should it get squirrelly. I'm sure it's just another one of those monkey-see-monkey-do things and he'll defend it to the death (or at least until the "cool kids" he's copying does something else). Let's hope the monkeys get over themselves sooner rather than later.

And that's what I meant by "it really looks bad" as in it looks wrong functionally. When the weight gets thrown on to the rear suspension under heavy acceleration and the front gets unloaded due to the fact it's already being helped to do that by having the front higher than the rear, that looks bad to me. When things are set up right they not only look right but they perform right.
