Just for sh*ts and giggles and because I like staring at this truck so much!
The two "horizontal" lines are parallel, but not actually exactly horizontal. They are < .5deg off because of the perspective of the picture (compare to the blue line at the bottom). The two vertical lines are also parallel and of equal length. You can see how much the hood rises above the general body line here. This coupled with the slight angular rise above horizontal gives the impression that the truck has some squat to it:
Rotating only 1deg clockwise overcorrects for this and now the truck looks like it has some rake. It doesn't take much to really mess with the eyes:

that is exactly what happened to me, all of the sudden the truck squatted
Thanks for explaining.

To add to the mind-f***ery, here’s a rear perspective.

CJC just dropped a cool video on the build!
Nevermind the used, dirty King shocks - they're temporary... More on that later

Dan, you went from 20 to 17s. Did you initially plan on having 20s or was that some type of test/trial before you eventually ended up with these 17s. Reason i’m asking is because i know you guys don’t recommend going higher than 18” on your systems, so i would think you of all people would not go against that recommendationCJC just dropped a cool video on the build!

We tell people not to go above 17/18 because they are coming into our systems with an expectation of a certain ride quality. We configure and tune to ensure the best ride, all around - this configuration means the smallest wheel and largest tire.Dan, you went from 20 to 17s.

That said, i knew the trade off and was willing to accept the diminished small bump capacity to achieve the look. I won't be calling Carli's tech support line to complain about the ride with this combo, lol! I wanted to try it and liked it but, going back to my tried and true 17s, i have no regrets. I still think the 20s looked better but I really like the forged 17" beadlocks too.

It's all in the details...

How does someone not employed by Carli go about obtaining custom decals like this? I've got the standard blue and orange on my pintop suspension, and I'd be interested in a swap.
If you wanna send me a free lift kit with that, I can do some advertising for you guys. Don't let this great deal pass you by.

Added it for you; Download it HERE
Note, to get the look we get on ours, we print these on an aluminum sticker. If you have your decal guy run it on standard Poly, it won't look the same. The brushed material we get is a specialty material; just a heads up! Shouldn't matter if you're doing your own color thing but it's worth noting.
Thanks for the information.
