The rear doesn't look lower at all. The front looks good. Did you do 1 or 2 inch in the front?

Yea it looks better....BUT....it looks lke your front end is lowered at about 2"....So why not lower your rear 2"?

As per your photos it looks like you have dropped the rear only about a 1" or just a tad more as stock is just over the WW with a little black showing. It still looks to me that your bike looks like a wheellbarrel.

I would go maybe just a tad more...A little under a inch" to a inch" more...

Remember those 422's are built to be lowered. While giving you a nice ride.
Also remember anything you lower will give a tighter ride. No more water bed. Those shocks are not made for the skinny toothpick type. They work better with weight.

IMO...F*K IT ROCKY SLAMM THAT BADBOY!!!! ATLEAST ANOTHER INCH...Good Luck.
