Aside from that, everyone seems to be up in arms about their front roll center and and trying to achieve great roll center or whatever, but then most are rocking the rear stock/stockish. To me it seems like it would be best to leave both alone, and then try to change all of it at once, because changing only the front will disrupt front to rear balance.
The front roll center drops much further with lowering than the rear due to the geometry. So the front needs correction more than the rear. Of course, going crazy on the front with zero adjustment in the rear is not smart.

I spaced my front lower balljoints down ~1.625"(probably about 1.25" more than stock), and raised the rear subframe up to the framerails with SPL bushings. Feels great to me, but the front could probably use a bit more correction.
