leveling with a twist

i have an 01 edge and this might seem unorthadox, but i want to level my truck by dropping the back instead of rasing the front. im looking for a sportier stance but not slammed. i want to eventually put some bigger rims and a quality tire on them so it sits almost musclecarish. its yellow, its supposed to look fast. haha

IF you're rear sits 1" too low, you can always get a '08 1.5" block if you wanted.
