[V8] Lowering thought

[Jason Wilkerson]

Yeah, I kinda figured that.  I just don't like how it looks.  I don't remember it being so pronounced on my last v8 - I think the difference is that my last one had the stock 15" aeros and this one has 18" aftermarkets (which I don't like BTW).  Anyway, is it too crazy to cut the perches and re-weld them?
