    You will have slight rake. I believe that top plate spacers (on the OME anyway) will level you out completely.

    In that condition yes. The dakars give approx 2.75" of lift where OME or the ULK fronts will give you 2.5" of lift.

    If you haul all that weight so frequently why would you want a level stance and go instantly negative with any load ?

    Who likes a small rake (positive) and always will.

    Not wicked high in the rear, just a little rake so it's almost not noticeable unloaded.

    The math here is so simple .

    The Dakars lift the rear 2.75"

    If you lift the front 3" you will have 1/4" less rake than stock

    If you lift the front 2 1/2" , you will have 1/4" more rake than stock
