Re: Raise the rear an inch or so after a flip kit? Rake looks messed up.

Or cut half a coil off the front. Only expense then is time and maybe u bolts. Like the truck, BTW. And I'm actually a fan of having the same size tires all the way around on these trucks. How's the clearance with your 285s at the front's current elevation?
How is removing leafs spring going to raise the rear suspension?
