To much rake? What's your all's opion?

Hey everybody just finished the rest of drop on my 69 GMC today put a new master cylinder on and bled all the lines. I had posted another picture of my 69 GMC short stepper a couple of days ago but the picture was not good as it was getting dark. I have 3" lowering springs up front with new 2 1/2" drop spindles and a 5" rear leaf flip kit on back and running 235/75's on back and 215/70's up front. Now with all that being said I think that it is has a little to much rake? I thought that a lowering shackle of 1-2inches would get me there and still look good or maybe take a leaf out but I don't know if that is a good thing or not as I only have 3 springs in a pack plus a thick flat overload spring on the bottom, maybe remove one spring? Or drop tire size? But I still like the fullness this tire gives in the rear well. What do you guy's think? I sometimes get confused and it helps to get more thoughts and opinions. I hope that this truck is turning out OK with the looks of the lowering process? Well thanks again everybody for all the continued help! I really need all I can get! Thanks Robert the newbie
