It should be listed at a 122" wheelbase, correct?

Location: Finland		Is it just my eyes or is the front 2 inches too low..the rear end might be a little low too. Not cool in that price range.

Location: Lubbock, TX		I disagree, crossing the block, a car with this stance will always excite the targetted buyers more than one with a 4x4 stance.

Stance looks good to me.  As a rule of thumb, top of back wheel well opening at top of wheel, top of front wheel well opening at top of wide white.

Location: Finland		I have always seen it as a rule of thumb that a drawed line parallell with the under side of the door goes through both axle center points..on all 57-59 Fwl cars adjusted as the manual
states. Any rule of thumb involving the white walls is very inaccurate imo.
The stance of the red 59 dodge makes it "tuned" to me...and that is also ok.

Location: So. Cal		I'm not that picky about it. The only thing that concerns me about the stance is that with the back end so low, it is likely that the rear springs are worn out and they adjusted the front to make it look OK. It does look OK, but you'll end up having to replace those rear springs if that's the case. But it could be that they intentionally lowered the rear with a block under the axle, which just requires removal and readjusting the front to bring it back to where you might want it.
