Yes it will be able to set this high. I have a monster truck and you can change the ride hight dramatically. From draggin the ground, or you can raise up nice and high, the only down side to it be up high, is that the center of gravity is highered, and it tips over easier[sm=tired.gif]

That looks about like the stance of a stock Savage, but not the Savage X. The X has a slightly lower stance, but not much. There are a lot of custom parts in that picture, but they are not required for that ride height.

RE: Quick Question...
With enough shock spacers above the springs i guess you could get it that high. Ultimatly depends on the amount of droop in the a-arms.
Why are you just interested in the looks? Driving them is much more fun than just looking!

The stance looks stock. It may sit slightly different than a stock Savage, but from my untrained eye it looks about the same as my almost stock LE. Also, I think the Savage comes with spacers (mentioned above) you can add to the shocks to make the suspension firmer. They put preload on the springs. That will help with the stance also.

RE: Quick Question...
Stock suspension will make it that high. Then again thats only about 3 inches - 3.5 in that pic, so yes it is very easy to make it that high. Things to consider are..
Put the shocks on the outter most hole on the shock tower, inner most hole on the arms
Bigger tires
Stiffer Springs
More preload.
