Did you drop the front end? If so, how much and what suspension did you use?

Thanks so much for your input man. Much appreciated. I'm planning on goin 23" in about a week...unfortunately, raking isn't in my budget at the moment. So, no rake. I have monotubes that I'll use with the 1" drop and try 3 c clips cuz I only weigh 160 -165 on a good day.
