Re: Rake or no rake

To me the first photo looks great. Both because of the rake, and the gap between the rear wheel and the fender lip looks more proportionate to the front compared to the second picture. For me the second picture looks like the truck is carrying a load of bricks, although I realize there are many that prefer that look.

Re: Rake or no rake

I like the rake on your truck because its just enough to give it that " bad a$$ " stance. sort of like a sleeper

I just think he is looking for someone's advise not for us to tell him what to do. I think he will end up doing what he wants but maybe he is on the fence about the whole thing. I certainly would never tell someone what to do or how to do it. That being said- a rake would make him happy. LOL

Re: Rake or no rake

That's funny Malibob I lowered the same way last night. When you put bags on a step side where do you put the tanks and compressor other than in the bed?

Re: Rake or no rake

i vote rake...mines raked and it makes the truck look mean and aggressive, i love it. also get compliments on my stance on a daily basis from random people everywhere i go. also slammed and rake is good...when i put my new suspension on i'll be slammed and raked...especially with the wrap around windshield the rake just works. as with the later cabs i like the non raked stance better.
