    Please forgive me, I'm probably overthinking this.

    I have a 2nd gen 4x4 DCSB. Lets assume the factory rake was 2". If I replace the front coils to give 1.5" of lift and replace the entire leaf spring to give 2" of lift, then will I have .5" of rake? Or 2.5" of rake (factory rake + new rake)?

    I'm going to use arbitrary numbers. Let's say you have 30" between the floor and the bottom of the fender in the front and 32" in the rear. Adding those numbers you stated

    30" + 1.5" = 31.5" in the front
    32" + 2" = 34" in the rear

    You would have 2.5" rake.

    Oh Faulk. Ok. So take the front coilovers and pour them into the rear reservoirs. Then take the spacers and stack them against the blocks




    Wait. No. Take the BLOCKS and stack them against the COILOVERS
