OK, I'll try to be more constructive (and you remember that next time we're trying to squeeze 200HP out of an LTD motor)

Although I still doubt this is a permanent mod for you, I know it probably is for now. IMO the height of the box is what makes it look like you slapped something in real quick. Anything you could do to lower it would help the look some.

1. Are your springs so soft you require a full 4" of travel? Can you used some progressive bumpers?

2. Can you clearance the wood just a bit in the middle of the box?

I can't even imagine how slammed your truck is to require all this. Maybe I need to look at your 3 link gallery for a bracket interference issue?
