I like the Cali rake. but I dont wanna be sitting 2in lower in the rear even though I like the look. I do believe it handles better now then it does raked forward or even level.

Mine currently has a little bit of a rake to it due to heavy duty springs in the rear but in the future I plan on fixing that and making it sit level. I like my trucks level but can handle an inch difference on way or the other. An extreme rake or extreme lean like I've seen before is just not for me.

So far no one on this board has either. Most of us it appears are close to level.

He's still gonna be at 7" front and 6" rear when he puts those on. Gotta have some lean!

I've got an inch of lean on my K5 but when I get the new wheels and whatever tires I find on it, I'm going to be going up another inch in the front. I love me some Cali. :crazy:

I like a good rake on a long bed...

Then you'd love mine! Mine's about 2" higher or more in the back than the front. That's one thing I still need to get corrected. I'd like it to sit more level.
