    I have posted a couple of threads since I got my truck trying to figure out why my truck squats in the rear. I have since figured out that the previous owner installed Bilstein 5100s on the front and set them at the 2.5" setting to at least allow room for 285/70/17 tires. There is also a 3" body lift on the truck. No suspension modifications in the rear. I think the factory rake is 1.25" so it makes sense that now I sit 26.25" in the front from center hub to bottom of fender and 25" in the rear after the front was jacked up 2.5" with the 5100s. I would like to get my rake back and add load capacity so the Dakars should be a good solution as they state they provide a 2.75" lift. This should put me only a 1/4" extra on the rake compared to factory setting.

    Is there anything that I am missing or any thoughts or concerns?????????????
