Anyone who's had a 3" rake before you're level cam you post what level you put on and the rake after, and if possible, a before and after pic. I'm looking to level my ram with a 3" rake. Not sure what leveling kit to use yet.

Are you 2 or 4wd? I just bought 3 inch lift spindles for my 2wd, it's exactly 3 inches to level the front with the rear, 4wd I can't say as I'm unsure

Its 4wd. I don't want it totally level. I was thinking a 1.5" level

I had 3" of rake and used the HBS 2.5" leveling kit. I love the way it looks now. I believe i have 1/4" - 1/2" of rake now.

rough country 3.75 combo lift, but the 2.5 inch lift befor the body lift left me with a nice rake still. came with a rear spacer cant remember size, possibly 1.25 inch or 1 inch, but her rear is still up there , but i like the stance :party52:

I did the 2.5" level kit and my front was still about 1" lower then the rear.....I dropped the rear 2" so now it's just a tad higher in the front.

I put that EBAY level kit in a '10 TRX4 dakota, 2", and had no problems. I put a 2" level kit in my new Ram 1500 4x4 and still have a 1" rake which is perfect for what I was looking for, not a fan of nose high.

I would honestly just drop 60 more for some bilstein 5100s. You can find them online. Im all about saving money but when when it comes to a piece of mind i rather spend to make it right. I was going to buy a strut mount leveling kit like you but im saving up for shocks so the wear and tear on the front suspension is less. Watch the vid it changed my mind.
