Default Calling all Torque thrust owners, need opinion!

As you can see in my signature my 74 is riding a little high. Im going to lower it about 1 1/2''. Do you think a bigger tire in the front will make it look better or should i stay with the same. Thanks

IMO you need some more sidewall in the front.

Looks like maybe your springs were installed incorrectly or the CA's were tightened without weight on them.
