I think I may raise the back up just a touch. Being a long time street rodder I understand the "rake" positon and look.
The rake is the look of having the rear slightly higher, or a lot higher for hot rods, than the front.

Looks nice. Is there a measurement like frame to ground at a certain point we can relate to? Camera angle makes a difference.
