do it if you have the mods to back it up the Cali lean only works on race trucks/pre runners. 100% pointless on anything else. but go for it get some glass fenders cage coil overs 2 link rear with lots of down travel.

Don't!!!
My jeep is "squated" it looks wicked dumb and i can't fit my 32's on it anymore. The only reason i have it like that is because maines strict inspection laws. If i were you i would keep it leveled out.

I think they could look ok. I had mine 4.5" up front and 3 out back before my tcase drop kit. It looked fine. Now I'm a 4" in the rear and 4.5" up front. It looks level to me. It's your jeep do what you want....opinions are like, well ya know.......everyone has one. Its YOUR jeep not theirs.

that green jeep looked like it was getting ready to take a dump or something. if you want your jeep to look like that you should have told me, i just threw away my older then dirt inverted leaf springs for new leaf packs because my jeep was sittin real low in the rear. maybe you should just load up the back of your jeep with bricks and drive around for a while and see if you really like the look before you actually do it.

Just finished squatting mine 
Not really..... I just finished the lift on the front and haven't started on the back yet
The front's a little over 5 inches and the back still has the old 3 inch lift on it....

Mine was sagging in the back because the original leaf packs were flat and sagging. It looked like butt and I felt like a dog dragging it rear around the carpet when I drove it. I just installed new 3" leaf packs and it sits so nice.
I bet that look started cuz people couldn't afford to get new springs when theirs started to sag. Then they were like "Hey lets just say it is the Carolina Squat and people will think it cool". They were wrong.
