i myself prefer the look of a level ride, when i see rake i think poor planning
like the 70s when every car had rake because we didn't know any better and were too broke to give a damn
I'm with Ogre. A arms should be level at hiway driving. Dropped spindles are used to do these and be able to drop to the floor when pull into a cruise event. and the same goes for the rear long bars should be level as well.
