I dont have pics but mine are atleast 3/4 of the way up.. My car still sits a little low in the front and i may bring it up a little more.. Its a pain in the ***, but its better to start high and work your way down.. Bringing it up is a bitch..

if your 3/4 up on the shock and still low im guessing you have the 275 springs and you ahve an iron block...you need stronger springs

the front hight is adjustable because its a coil over and i have mine set at stock hight...i dont want any bottoming out problems...people usualy use stock springs in the back...you dont really wana lower the rear of yourcar for drag racing

Mike does that thing bottom out in the front when hitting sec gear? Or is it an auto?

I just raised mine up in the rear to clear some 28" ET drags. I can now get two fingers in the left and one and a half on the right. I think I need to go up more on the right.
