Don't mean to jack the thread, but would a 2/4 make a rcsb sit level or have a little rake? I'm finally getting mine put in this weekend. Either way, I prefer the level look

2/4 should level it out

The very excellent point was brought up of....do you ever use your truck as a truck? If so, then a forward rake is the way to go.

Hotchkis has 4" lowering leaf springs that are susposed to help handling some too.

Same here...I've always been a fan of a very slight rake in the back, but leveled out is nice too.

I like the level look best, especially if you’re trying to fill in the wheel well with bigger tires/rims.

1 inch rake is perfect IMO. When you get real low, go with 1/2 inch. Level trucks always look like they are tilted the wrong way, cause Im so used to seeing all the trucks on the road raked.

I did the 2/4 and wish I had a little rake.... turns out that's what I really like. So maybe just a little bigger rear tire is in order... or maybe a bag to soften the ride and raise it up maybe 1/2 to 1" inch?
