    Katskin leather seats. And 3/2 lift with 295/60/r20 20x9 fuels
    I got a 3/2 lift with 295/60/r20 on 20x9 I love it but it’s definitely not as level as I wanted it to be. I’m not a fan of the stock rake in trucks I know it serves a purpose but I hate it. This isn’t too bad tho I think I can live with it. But I’d appreciate your guy’s opinion

    I like some rake personally, as I do haul and tow at times and I do not like the look or handling when the truck squats and is nose high.

    If you happen to be in an area that sees winter/snow, and want to put sand or other weight in the back for traction, this is another good reason to leave it slightly raked when unloaded. Here in the Northeast, you see a lot of trucks in winter with a bit of silly squat to them from tube sand.

    It really depends how you use your truck. If its never loaded and you just ha e folks in the cab, being the nose up the other inch to level it out. But as the others have stated, if you load up the truck or haul anything you will likely become nose high which normally looks worse than the 1" rake you have.

    But its your truck! Do what will make you smile everytime you see it and during each session behind the wheel :thumbsup:

    I think it looks nice with a little rake. And that it’s black too. :thumbsup:

    I agree with most here. Leveling kits make it look okay but as soon as you put anything in the bed you’re squatting.

    Too many, but not enough....
    I think it looks perfect. I have a 2 inch front 2.5 inch rear and its slightly too ass high, but i need it since i run at almost max payload alot of the time with the whole fam and gear. It might also be the diamondback that makes it look a little higher than it is.

    Mine was completely and perfectly level. It looked good most of the time. Sometimes it looked level but a lot of the time it looked like the front was higher than the back depending on the slope of where it was parked. It looked like hell every time I towed a trailer, sat on a slope or had a load in the back. Just yesterday I lifted the back so that my lift is about 3 inches in both the front and the back to fix that. Now I have my stock rake back. I don't like the look as much on level ground but it is better to tow or haul loads with.

    I'm with everyone else here and like it. I'm biased as I have a 2" rake after lift, but I feel a little rake makes it look more rugged and purposeful.

    The only thing wrong with the look of your truck is all the rain drops on it.

    When I had my 6112s installed my truck pretty much sat level.
    Every time I made a fast turn some nanny crap would go off.
    There is a sensor under the console that detects rake or lack thereof.
    You can put a spacer under one end of it to simulate rake, but I ended up getting Toytec shackles and putting them on the 1" setting.

    When it was level..
    It looks nose high but measured perfectly level.

    With the shackles..

    The shackles on the higher setting was too high..

    We have pretty much the same setup but I went with a 3/1 lift instead of the 3/2. I prefer the more leveled look. But your truck by no means looks bad whatsoever. Here is mine compared to stock.
