Does anybody have any pictures from the side of their cuda with new springs and which height they are? I'm looking into getting new springs and cant decide between the stock height and the +1"

This was w/ a 275-60 rear tire and the stock height springs.
+1" would look too tall in my opinion.
I tried 1" lower springs at first (years ago), but it sat too low...Calvert swapped em out no charge.

Thanks for all the pictures. Does anybody have a +1" spring set for comparison?
