    I cant recall the name, but there is a second gen guy in Florida who has something like a 4 inch drop bracket and removed/replaced with smaller blocks for the rear. Like many, I don't understand the appeal of this set up, my only concern would be to check to make sure that drive line would be consistent and not cause increased wear due to off angle orientation.

    As far as what you COULD do...I think it depends on what you want the front to achieve. If you want a desired amount of lift like 4-6 inches (many do this to fit a certain size tire), then get a DB lift. You can then alter the rear to suit the appropriate angle you want based off block height choice. If you only desire 2-3 inches in the front, then I would look for an adjustable coilover that can achieve this like Bilstein, toytec, King, Icon, Fox, etc. depending on what your budget is. If you go the coilover route, you may not have to even touch the rear.

    Personally, I miss your "not a porn name" disclaimer.
