Default lowering shackles

well heres the deal, I know most don't like the look but im a teenager in socal and I love the look. I am planning on installing 1.5" lowering shackles to go along with my torsion lift. I want the pre-runner looker with the nose high and tires that fill up the wheel wells. With my all black truck with eye lids, lights, etc. it already looks like a kid truck so what the heck. However, instead of having the whole 1.5 lower, I have rear air bags which will raise the back to whatever height I like. I just want the front to sit a inch higher than the rear and right now with the cranked bars, it sits a half inch higher in the rear. But anyone have pics of lowering shackles along with cranked bars or just lowered in general.
