Default What ride height looks better?

I want to find out if I'm the only one who prefers the look of a stock ride height in this forum.

I encourage criticism so tear away

Its public so your name will go next to your vote

Oh whats up? The stock ride height has a lead 3-2! If the stock ride height wins this poll, I'll crap myself in surpise

This forum isn't all full of people who like riding on their bumpstops after all

I like 1" to 1-1/2" lower then stock, NOT Slammed, and not like a pick up truck.

I kinda meant the 1st choice to essentially mean lower than stock. I didn't mean like specifically 2+ inches or lower. Just a heads up for people who want to vote so you know I'm not trying to skew the results

Lowered looks better than the "scared cat" stock ride height. I agree with the previous post about not being slammed. I think the Hotchkis or Strano Springs look best.

Very true!

The only time the suspension remains stock, is when the cars not mine.

I guess you'll get the poll results you need to see with those choices,...almost any production vehicle is mass produced higher and with smaller diameter wheels/tires than the original drawn design,...most look MUCH better with a 1-2" drop and +1 wheels/tires.

rwd cars with tires tucked into the fender is gay... rwd needs a good off set to look good. but i havent seen a car on here yet that has the wheels tucked into the fender, they all have excellent off set, and are very wide in the back

Not slammed. 1" in the front and .75" in the rear is what I found to be perfect.

Me too. That's not what the question is though, it's what looks better

Dang it.. had the lead for a short time.. At least I can say the stock ride height actually had a lead at one point lol

I voted for the first option but I prefer the Strano Springs look and not the Sportline look. Anything is better than the Stock 4x4 stance....

Yeah basically in the first option, if you prefer the 1 inch + look then vote option 1. Maybe I should have reworded that.

You should only vote for option 2 if you like the "stock height". Don't vote for 2 if you like the 1 inch drop better than stock ride height.

My favorite out of those is the Nova. It was built by Rad Rides by Troy. I think it has something rediculous like a procharged 572 in it. I dont really remember but I can find out.
