Need Help With Reducing Rake

Hello all...not long ago I upgraded my leaf springs...my adjustable Bilsteins are on the top ring up front (and the ride is good in my opinion); I have no other lift gear on the front end (or rear), all stock other than the Bilsteins. At this point, what might be the best way/least priced to pick the front end up just a bit to reduce rake? Thanks.

 

Best option is to disassemble the leaf pack and remove a leaf or two to achieve your desired rake. If you go beyond where your fronts are now you'll start running into different problems (torn CV boots, etc) and your ride quality will suffer.

Or, just live with a little rake. In my opinion your truck looks great as-is.

Thanks Billy...yeah, I'm considering keeping as is...really not too interested in making a change if it's gonna take too much money or cause damage and I def don't want to lower the rear.

 

A cheap thing you could try is putting a couple hundred lbs of sandbags in the back for a while to see if the rear will settle down. What leaf springs did you go with?

 

TRD...does that spacer fit 2wd 2018 Tacoma's?

Those may settle down. Not familiar with that product specifically.

Is your truck 2wd? That definitely gives you more options to lift the front without the same negative effects you deal with on a 4wd. Spindle lift would be an option for a 2wd.

 

yes..2wd

 

What BabyBilly said.
Looks good to me.
Try adding some weight.....it will ride better too.

 

+1 for adding a little weight in the bed. It may just be my opinion but forward rake always looks better than the sagging rear end that happens when you level the suspension then toss a bunch of weight in the back.

 

Rake/stance looks great!

 

Rake is good you didn’t buy a car IMO. LOOKS good leave it.

 

Maybe consider the cheap route of the 1" block? Either that, or remove a leaf first, as Billy recommended.

Either way, if it was up to me, I'd also prefer the lean gone. Really helps with the oem brake dive, and just looks sooo much nicer.

Good luck, and I hope you "dont" consider raising the front any more.

 

I think this looks great. Is this bilsteins on all 4 corners or just the 2 in front?

 

Leave it, you'll bet better gas mileage.








Because you'll always be running downhill!
