Hello everyone,

I have a 2012 1500 Crew cab with 30000 KM (18641 miles) on it. I have noticed the rake on my truck seem to be to much, so today I measured it from ground to body and got 39 1/2" on the rear and 35 1/2" on the front so a total of 4" of rake. Is this too much for a stock truck?

To my knowledge every truck is made a little different. Mine truck measures 37.5 front 39.5 rear (stock)

Every truck is a little different. But that said, all Ram 1500's have a bunch of rake.

Ok, thanks I just wanted to make sure before my dealer warranty ran out and I was SOL. Out of curiosity how low would the front end have to get compared to the rear before it would be wise to take the truck to the dealer to get looked at?
