looking at my truck it sometimes bothers me about the slight rake it has and was thinking about a 1/2 more drop in the rear would make it more level. what do you guys think and has anyone done this ? of course i dont want to have to tear into my frame so pics and advice would help. thanks guys

Wow, looks great. How much clearance do you have at 6"? I think anymore than 6 and you're going into c-notch territory. But if you're going to do it, I'd go with a full 1"...Trade you wheels
