    What is the factory rake for my 2013 DCSB Sport 4x4? I put a Leer Camper on and never measured it before the camper shell. Currently the back is right at 1" taller than the front. Right now my suspension is all factory. I'm curious how much it has squatted with the camper.

    Thanks

    These trucks have a 2" rake. If you look at suspension leveling kits from anyone, they always lift the front 2" more

    So a 150 -200 lb shell evenly spread out over my bed squatted my truck 1"? That is horrible! I'm assuming the longer I have the shell on there the more it may squat?

    I'm trying to plan out a small lift and it sounds like an AAL would probably be a bad choice with the camper on. Is this a safe assumption?

    I doubt that the truck will sag if it wears the camper for life, but the AAL wouldn't be a bad idea, I think. I put Firestone bags in mine just to help it with what little stuff I put in my utility trailer (1600lb Polaris Ranger, 1600lb New Holland acerage tractor, etc. Trailer weighs 1200lbs empty). They will give me up to 4" of lift when the truck is empty if I crank the pressure up, but allow the nice soft ride that I like about these trucks when they're empty. Maybe you want to do that?

    I have a 2007 DCSB prerunner and before I added 5100s, the back was right at 1.75" taller than the front.

    Possibly...I'll look into it. I hear so much bad stuff about these leaf packs it makes me wonder if I should leave them in there, since I will have the truck for a long time. An AAL seems like it may only prolong the inevitable (replacing the leaf packs). The Dakars lift 3" I think and I really only want 2" in the rear. Decisions...:confused:
