not too much anymore, the shackles give 1.5" of lift so technically I should be 5.5" front and 5" rear, but the coils give way more than advertised so it still looks alittle raked. At least it's not squatting lol

hah... yeah doesn't help that the rear fenders can only be trimmed so much without custom inners being welded in. Gives the illusion of squatting.
