Default What drop does this look like?

I put 2 inch drop shackles in the rear to somewhat level it out but i swear the front is supposed to be stock height. Why do people's 2/4 drop pics look similar to my truck in the front at least?

I put shackles on mine. I still have a rake look. It pisses me off.

It's probably the size of your tires (how they fill the wheel well up)

Wrong, 22"s make his truck sit higher because the rim stays straight whereas a smaller rim with a larger tire sidewall will bow out. Putting on larger rims raises ride height.

The bigger wheels fill the wheel wells more, which makes it look lower in a sense.
