I haven't decided what I want to do with the car down the road.  I've never had a jeep or truck with 4wd, not that I do any off-roading.  I sort of wanted to do a 2" lift all around and put the biggest tires I could fit (without cutting anything) on it.   Another part of me (the guy that helped build 3 Formula SAE cars at school) really wants to lower it just a little and put some street tires on it and improve the suspension with an anti-roll bar and better shocks.  I'm a little torn there.  
 

I figured my SX/4 was perfect the way the factory did it, but if you're going to choose between the two I think lowering it slightly and making it sportier would be way cooler.

After working on it a little yesterday, i'm inclined to agree with you...  It's nice to not have to jack it up every time you need to get underneath it to do something.   ;D

The stock stance is pretty nice, maybe just some rally tires and some mud flaps to protect the rockers and i'll call it good.

Looks nice. Same color as my first wagon. First one I've seen without a clock or tach either one beside the speedometer.

You have a great looking Eagle!!  Well done.  These shorter wheel base Eagles are lots of fun to drive.
