i'm just goin for a poor mans drop...i like the height in the rear with the shackles and clamps...i was just wondering which one y'all thought would look better in the front...the back actually sets about an 1" lower in the rear as it sets now so i'm thinkin either one of those drops for the front would look good...just can't decide which one

I'd go with some Eibach 1" front coils. Thats what I have on mine, they ride glass smooth and they actually lowered mine about 1.25" still on stock shocks.
