20's with stock 08 e350 sport suspenison?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have pics of a e350 with 20's and stock suspension?

Thinking of getting 20's for an 08 e350 sport supesnion, but not sure if lowering is really neaded. Is ride quality much worse?>

But this means you are lowered, right?

Honestly, I have not seen a stock suspension look good with 20s. It comes down to a matter of opinion, of course.

What is the drop on those springs? Do you have pictures of the car from the side?

Still looks a little high for me. And since we are looking down, it may look lower than it is. A pure side shot would show what kind of gap there is.
