Shock/rake Question

Dear fellow Tundra Owners:

Can anyone tell me within tundras.com where I can find information about keeping the same rake when putting new shocks on my truck? Reason I ask is I don't want my truck to sag with heavy weight.

I am planning on putting 2.5in shocks front and back, go up to a 33in tire, and add SPC upper control arms. Right now I am thinking Fox 2.5 (0-3in lift). May decide Fox 2.5 (0-2in lift) if I decide to stay with stock tire size.

Thanks,

Mike

 

If you don’t lift the front, the rake will stay the same. Whatever you lift the front, lift the back the same, the rake will stay the same. The shocks do not control the ride height in the rear, the leaf springs do. Heavy weight will make the rear end sag, unless you get rid of the softer rear ride and stiff in things up with HD leafs or airbags. RAS rear spring helpers sound like they are a good compromise.

 

Thanks. I will look at those options. I’m sure the hd leafs would make for harsher ride. I guess I can always use new bump stops such as ones by Timbrens.
