Lifting the back

Does anyone have any pics of a Camaro that is lifted in back? Like 2 or so inches. Maybe with 15 or 16s on front and 17s in back? I've been thinking of this for some time now and wanted to know what it would look like in real life.
Thanks for any help.

If you want to know how it will look, just drive through a local trailer park. I'm sure you'll find 2 or 3 that are lifted in the back.

Actually, I saw a black IROC once that had that done. Not too inches, but enough so you could tell the back was a little higher than the front, and it didn't look half bad.

so if rednecks in trailer parks with ******s drive jacked up (might as well say sh!tty looking too while were at being @sses) looking 3rd gens,, do rich, stuck up, opinionated, clean cut ****** drive near stock looking nice 3rd gens ?,, I mean,, if we're going to label,, let's have designated a name for everone who has a certian taste in personal car styling,,,

Since I suck a remembering names,, maybe he'll happen across this post to answer,, but someone has a very sharp looking gunmetal(?) grey camaro with a cowl hood & ,,, dare I say,, air shocks,, in the back to lift the rear a bit off the tires. The raked look works good for the car & is sharp

* No offence meant to either jims,,, just sick of the name calling & flaming (or whatever descriptive makes you feel better)over someone asking a simple question

No offense taken. He wanted to know what it looked liked, so I used my particular approach to give my opinion. Plain as that.

Hey Jim, when I replaced the rubber coil spring isolators on my rear springs when after I had switched all of my springs that raised my rear about 1 1/2", it was just enough to be noticable and give my car a slight rake, of course the new front springs lowered the front about that much as well. Take care now, Gary
