I'm just confused as to how your front end isn't nose high since you're technically 1 3/4" higher in the front than the rear. But it looks great nonetheless! I'm just curious

Looks higher upfront to me.
Do suspension lifts raise the front to a level stance? 6" front/4.5:back, or is it 6" front/6" back?

Anyways, be prepared to break a cv axle or 2. 38" rubber is alot of strain on these CV's.
I hope you have atleast 3:92 gears out back???

Does look good tho.

to answer some of your guys questions after the lvl was installed i was 1/4" higher in the front which is not really that niticable to me but the one below 1"3/4 would have made the front lower still, there is no rubbing occuring yet but im sure there will be when i go offroading, as for gears im still running the crappy 3,55 gears since my model was the sxt, i have the pro comp stage 1 lift kit

Yep, just watch your CV's. They don't like angles over 20* parallel to the ground or the weight/rolling resistance of tires much over 35".

Looks killer though!!!
