I know...I was being a dork...

Then I was feeling guilty for spending all this cash..

Thanks for smacking me...

Tomorrow is a shake down run, and if all goes well, it gets a photo shoot on saturday, and then I pick it up...

And I am worried about one inch...I know, what a dork...

Actually i am starting to like it...It still has an old school stance but with updated rims, and tires...

You could toss some weight in the trunk for the pics. Thats what I would do. Get her azz out of the air. How wide are those tire?

You could also put 1" lowering blocks between the springs and the axle. Then once it settles you can remove them. They're pretty cheap if you've got enough U bolt length to allow them, otherwise you'd need longer U bolts too.
I personally think they nailed the stance as it is. The gap above both front and rear tires looks very close, and I like it slightly higher in back.

Yes, I need to fill the gas tank, drive it around for a while...

The tires are 285, and I have a rolled inner lip, so dropping down should work out fine..

I like the stance, but then, I'm old school.

I would say it looks just about perfect the way it sits now.By the way for that paint being as old as it is,it still looks amazing,you cant tell it was done that long ago.
