I've always thought crossovers looked better lowered, but I think that's more indicative of their original proportions.

A perfect example of why you shouldn't destroy a vehicle by slamming it. It would be so pretty if it had a normal stance.

I've gotten comments about the California rake of my half-ton Dodge.

"Looks cool, man!"

"It sits level with a trailer behind it!"

"Oh. Though you were doing something."

"I am."

What, you thought I spent $200 on coil-helper rear shocks and another $100 on Timbren bumpstops to look cool? I just wanted it to work as best as it could.

Does kinda look good though.

TCS: The tailgate latch broke the other day, making me rethink the two inch lift due to fancy shocks. Getting that 100lb steel desk out of it took some doing.

I mean, that's fair. I agree that a car you can't drive safely is dumb (see: brotruck.)
Still looks bad rear end, though.

At one point my Cutlass was a bit too low in the front - about 3" under the front crossmember - and I hated driving it that way because it would slam said crossmember into the ground constantly. This was entirely the fault of Edelbrock for speccing those springs for "small-block" A-bodies while failing to recognize not all "small-block" GM V8s weighed the same, and failing to recognize that optional equipment like AC added a not-insignificant amount of weight to the front end. I eventually swapped them out for Hotchkiss springs that were properly spec'd. Still using the Edelbrock springs in the rear, though. Those were fine.
