It's worth trying to change the front spring pads to #1's to see how it looks.... if they are not the #1's already

Yea, I think I'll def try the pads. Is the dealer the best place to get them? And how much do they usually go for?

I would go straight with a #1 in the front... may use something a little thicker for the rear. Gotta see how she sits with a full load of fuel. I could be running a #3, or #4 pad in the rear on mine. Sits perfectly with a full tank of fuel.
