    A rake stance means the back is a tad higher then the front..this is to me anyways normal of a truck..and is how my truck sits..This also usually means once you add weight..your truck tends to stay tail high or level out..

    Bro stance is the front is higher then the rear. This is the typical stance of Long Travel trucks.

    then there is just level of course..

    I like the aggressive look of Rake..others like bro..and most just like level.

    And you can get whatever shackle you want! :D haha The all pro ones are greasable tho which would be nice..

    yea and really..not even 1/2'' :p its 1/4 lol shackles don't give the amount of lift that they are long. Lift is about half of how long they are. But they give some nice droop. I can droop a 33'' tire below the body :D

    and no prob man! Have fun spending money :D its fun to change the truck up!

    Got cha, on that. One more thing what is droop? Oh make that 2 how are your KM2's in the wet? Ive read somewhere there not that good in the rain. I live in WA most of the year is wet roads, with some grooves on the highways where water builds up, so worried about hydroplanning and general wet roads.

    my 10.5 KM2s did fine in the wet..only have one time where i was hydro planing..and it was like WAY wet. Been raining for 2 1/2 days strait wet..and it only happened once. Its ice they don't seem to like very well.

    But if you sipe the tires they do good on ice i have been told.

    droop is just when you are flexing out :cool: One wheel goes up in the wheel well, we call that stuffing, and the other gets dropped, and droops :D


    this is droop

    I wanted see a pic of your 5 pack.

    Was wondering if it was 4+ the overload or 5+ the overload.
