Well, for those who haven't had the opportunity to ride on a steel wheeled hay wagon on a washboard country lane ....... now you know what it feels like.....

For a while there the thing to do was to slam the front end as far as possible and jack the rear end up to stupid heights. Al the whole 4 or 5 sizes bigger wheel on the back then on the front thing was huge. Had more than one that I worked very hard to throw the balance completely off.



I personally prefer the look of a lowered car (mine is almost 2 inches) as long as the wheels still go straight up and down.
