You want a bit of a rake put some lowering springs in the front.

[X(] holy crap batman lets not go too far into the redneck/trailer trash zone. air shock are not the best idea in the world as they raise the center of gravity and tend to make the rear a bit bouncier neither of which helps any. mostly used in the 1970's , 80's to provide a cheap way for big tire clearance when rim offsets and or widths or car design was more limited, also used to level out vehicles towing trailers. as mad mike stated youll have a much better results simlpy dropping the front a little looks better performs better kurt
