Thanks! Its actually stock (but hopefully not for long! )

When I look at it, sometimes it looks ok, but at other times it just looks like a 4X4 ...

Im going for springs - H&R, since I dont need the adjustability of coils, and really dont want to go through the hassle of rebuilding em ...

Plus, CA roads suck big time ...

While it'd definitely look better lowered, I don't think it looks bad.
