    In Colorado? You country boys run out of dumb shit to do out there? Growing up in Montana without all the "crowds", holy hell. I thank God on a daily basis smart phones weren't a thing yet.

    Not many, but I have seen a few. The more common fad here among the more well off oilfield and farmer’s kids are 4-6” lifts with 22’s on 35-37’s. Still stupid as hell, but at least it’s not the ass down nose up fad.

    I am starting to see more Bro Lean around DFW. To me it is almost as bad as lowering a truck. No exhaust is as obnoxious as the coffee cans on diesels or the over size pipes on ricers. Just in the last couple of weeks I have seen people running their LED bars on the road. Not sure if any of the longer bars are street legal

    By the way, @Predsguy I think the profile picture you posted looks pretty good. I like the stance of the truck.

    Thanks buddy! Can you please post a couple side shots of your truck. I saw that you are at 1.9 in the front with CB3 in the back?

    Yeah hahahaha! Some people do it very dramatically and some not so bad. I think it started when people were trying to emulate a true pre-runner truck. A long travel truck with high clearance fenders gives the impression that it is nose high. But it’s not, it’s just those fiberglass fenders that make it look that way. Plus when they are on the gas the rear is squatted. Then you get a high school kid that lifts his first Silverado to look like a pre-runner truck LOL.

    Now my truck is just leveled in the front. Pro suspension. Sometimes it looks like I am nose high. I will probably leave it until I get a travel trailer that I like. Then I will address it. What gets me is when I see someone with a lifted diesel towing a gigantic fifth wheel or 30 foot bumper pull, with the rear squatted down like a yoga pose. Then they take the trailer off and still that way or now level. Seriously there is no reason to have a pre-runner 1 ton diesel.

    I'm gonna lower my rear, camber my front, get 30" spinners with stretched tires 3 sizes too skinny, neon undercarriage lights, Lamborghini doors, caddy tail lights, hid headlights with no projector, curb feelers, extend my exhaust 8 feet in the air, chrome plate my undercarriage, louis Vuitton interior, and get a flat black wrap.

    Keep an eye out for my build thread guys.

    Maybe they do the reverse rake to compensate like you would hauling a heavy load in the bed. Instead they have to put beefy springs in the front because of their big fat significant others.

    Those aren't good examples of Cali lean, I'm offended! Cali lean is just "I got my front end done and saving up for the rear now"

    I had Cali lean for a while :curls:

    Best side shot I have at the moment, this setup basically retains the factory rake. I tow 50% of the time so I'm good with it.20180621_201945.jpg

    so i just installed 6112s on the top setting in the front with 1 driver side shim.
    +2 CB shackle in the back.

    i just got it back and it's got a bro lean for sho!
    will the front end settle in as i drive?

    or do i need to lift the back more?
    this shackle height was suggested by
    David Ekstrom.

    Just to make sure, can you get a picture of the shock set up where the spring rests on the spring perch?
