Birdman is that creep in the steamroom at the gym who can't keep his legs closed and keeps mentioning how his towel is "slipping" while he's eye-******* the shit out of you.

You try to run away, but it's slippery in there..... All part of his sick twisted Master Plan.

eye-*******? damn you're giving me some credit. i typically invite the steam room homies in to the shower for some squat thrusts...

Its all to do with the lotion thrown on the floor. You slip, and your fair game to get poled.

This thread really took a horrific turn.

BTW iceman, you might be surprised at how much less ass-high the crews look once you see yours in person. My original thought was the same when I'd only seen photos. I may still go middle perch, but I've gone from being certain I'd do it immediately to being undecided. I think I might want to get in some desert time first to at least see what stock feels like.

That's exactly what I'm wrestling with. The black SCrew that I saw the other day didn't appear to have anywhere near the nose down stance that SCrews seem to have in pics. I'm still leaning towards the middle perch if its just short of level.

I'd like to see a shot from the side. The front angle will actually make the fender gap look larger in the front and smaller in the rear.

What is the fender gap in the front versus the rear?

I will take a pic and measurements for you tomorrow and post results here.

Here you are, Your Highness:

(I parked in what feels like a pretty level place)

Shot from the side, standing:



Shot from the side, kneeling:



Now here's where things get interesting, check out what my measurements had to say...
We have to keep in mind that the front and rear fenders are not shaped exactly the same (see side view above).

Front Fender:



Rear Fender:

That looks pretty flat to me...could've sworn I've previously seen trucks on top perch that to have noticeable San Diego Slant (all online).

BTW (sure you've never been asked this one before but I'm seriously asking it again...) are those 35s or 37s?

Damn..the red out generals look good on the white!! Great pics to illustrate that the top perch does not = But Draggin.

I think what gets everyone with my truck is that the ADD front bumper does not dip as low as stock so it's an optical illusion that the truck is raked back. Yes, the front sits higher but not due to the suspension.

Like I said earlier in the thread, top perch looks pretty level to me, if it's nose high, it's only very slightly so. I think Raptors look/feel better this way, but that's just me.

My tires are 35s, I'd like to run 37s someday, but that's gonna require some modding. The General 35s are a fraction of an inch bigger than the BFG 35s though from what I understand. The other thing that makes my tires look beefier is that they are 2 inches wider than the stock BFGs.

Not a great pic but this may give an idea of the SCrew stance ...

So in this pic, is this middle or top perch? good pic, just the piece of information tying all this together isn't here
