Of course, it would also depend on what type of tires were used front to back. A real tall tire would offset the rear being lower than the front.

I ordered a 2/4 drop for my truck, and its still has a little over an 1" of rake. The front tires are a little shorter, but its not an inch difference. I think 2 1/2" - 3" is actually truly level instead of a 2" difference.

Maybe it's just me, but your truck is raking toward the front, right?

So 2.5/3 would bring the REAR UP 1" from where it is, and the FRONT DOWN 1/2" from where it is, just making it worse?

I think the 2.5/5 up top looks to be pretty level.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that my truck had more than 2" of rake from the factory. Some of the other posters were concerned that a 2/5 drop make the truck sit lower in the rear than in the front. I posted my pics to show that a 2/5 drop would probably level my truck out as opposed to the 2/4. In a nutshell, I'm am agreeing with what you are saying. The 2/5 drop is levels the truck out pretty good.
