    I agree with you. Its either rake, leveled, or negative rake(bro lean).

    I guess people do that just because they can. Cause you're right, having a truck that high just puts him at a disadvantage with rolling the thing, etc. Also, I doubt he's worried about trails though. There's quite a few trucks similar to that around here (not quite that big though) but they're just into hitting the mud hole, not anything else really

    I like it slightly higher in the rear, makes it look more aggressive.

    Level looks nice, but I don't like squatting whenever a decent sized/weighted load is placed in the back.

    Therefore I say stock rake so when a load is placed, the truck gets brought down level depending on the weight.

    WTF does the bro lean have to do with how it rides in the desert? Does it help to better cradle your balls in the seat as you drive?

    I also don't understand the misconception that LT=bro lean. You can have a properly set up LT suspension AND have a level stance.

    I am voting for level because I wouldn't buy a tacoma if I was hauling around any type of a load.
