well that sucks....
whats the most cost efficient way of fixing the rake after i put my leveling kit on? i had the ReadyLift SST 2.25" front and 1.5 rear and slapped some 35's on, but i still have a noticeable rake is there a shock made for 2wd to fix that?
my rake= 39-3/4 front
41 back

i guess, but i was looking more along the lines of bringing the front up to match the back at 41"

Even if it was possible.....it certainly isn't recommended as your CV's are already angled due to the level and will be even more if you added Bilsteins on top of it.
Only option is.....to remove/replace that rear coil spacer or actually get a proper lift

Fast his is a 2WD.....
When the dealers sell these kits they told me that most people wnat the truck to look just like it started but taller, the rake takes in account that you might pull a trailer and it would be level,well most that I have seen or talked too like the level look, including myself.
So if you dont tell them you want it level they will sell you the kit with the rake still in it
Bilstein,, told me that they were going to produce the 2WD version when these shocks came out originally a while back, they made them for the Ford 2WD , but not ours, then they told me they were not going to do it at all,
You can either take out the rear spacer,(HEAVEN FORBID )..
or like the other poster stated you can increase the front size, did you use the rubber isolators?, you can put one on top of the spring and one on the bottom, to give it a 1/2 inch more, then with a half of tank of gas it might look more level.
Mine was perfect level at 2.5 no spacer in the rear.
