Only measured 1/2” factory rake on 22 TRD Sport DC LB

I measure rake and only found 1/2”. I really thought it would be at least an 1”. Should my lift maintain this same rake ? Probably 2/1” or 3/2 is what I was thinking I don’t want mess up TSS either

 

Go with 2/1. These truck don't like anything much over that. Many problems start arise over 2" I'm at 2/2

 

2” was my first choice although they have a lot of 3/2” kits Although I really don’t want get involved in swapping UCA etc. What setup up do you have? I plan on putting 265/70/17s.

 

TSS is fairly forgiving on nose angle.

If you want to maintain the rake, lift the same height on all four corners. 2/1 or 3/2 are levelling kits - I personally find the level look to be an obvious billboard that says "I dont use my truck to do truck stuff", but several others prefer it over the raked look.

 

Makes sense so if the entire truck goes up same the angle remains same ?

 

The first question to ask yourself is 'why lift?'

In the hands of a good driver with good tires the truck is quite capable as it sits.

 

Correct, more or less. I found that the leaves settled at a slightly different rate than the coils, but the end result was fairly close to the same angle on all 4.

 

My set up is not available anymore. But you can get similar set-up. I have 2nd gen pro suspension, with rtx leaf pack ( stage 2) So, similar set-up would be 6112 in front, 5160 back with rtx leafs. Stock UCA's carrier bearing drop, 2 degree shim in back.

 

Rake is good

 

interesting... I feel my 22 DCSB Sport looks like it does not have alot of rake, but I have yet to measure. It got it in Sept, so I have not gotten serious about what I want to do lift wise, if at all.

 

OP did you measure from ground or center of hub?

 

Haha that’s me!
If it’s dirty the wife can use her Subaru to haul it!

 

I have a DCSB OR and I measured it from center of hub to fender and got 1.5" of rake and is actually very noticeable. I actually want to lift the front at least half an inch as I don't mind the factory height. Currently I have all factory suspension and a constant 75lbs or so in the bed from my retractable cover.

 

Center of hub

 

I didn’t even think about the cover. Mines a roll up type but that definitely adds weight to it. Didn’t think it would drop it an inch tho

 

good point, I put a Diamondback cover on it right after I got it, so there is a little weight over the rear. Now I'll have to measure and see what it really is.. add it to the "things I read on TacoWorld and need to look into" list...
