Should I do it
I'm thinking about raising the back of my truck a little bit by adding a couple leaf springs back, right now it has a flip kit and 5 out 8 leafs removed including the over load, it has a little rake now but its the camera angle, but I think it needs a little more

Re: Should I do it
Is all that lawn equipment getting too heavy?
I would put larger tires back there, but yeah I know what your talkin bout, rake is good. |

Re: Should I do it
remember that the rear wheel opening is actually lower than the front one... I think it looks good as is.

Re: Should I do it
the lawn equipment not a problem since all the stuff weighs less than 50 pounds that I'm using now, its has over a Inch taller tire in the back maybe a 31 will do it , just any thing heaver hit the c-notch

Re: Should I do it
In your case I wouldnt go with a bigger tire to get more rake. I would add what ever it takes to raise it 1/2-3/4"... get the distance from front to back the same (tire/rim to fender lip).

Re: Should I do it
Yeah I think I would add a leaf back to see what it did. I like the rake look.
