    New member here with a dumb question that I am confusing myself further by when searching for the answer.

    Looking at my first mod, a Ironman 4x4 FCP lift.

    From my research it looks like the 4runner comes with a factory 1.5-2" rake. Does that mean if you were to perfectly lift the front and rear the same height you would still have 2" of rake?

    I ask because I am looking at 2.5 front heavy spring (am going to add a bumper) and 2 inch rear medium spring lift which I believe would still give me a 1-1.5inch rake which I want for occasional extra weight in back/trailer.

    Am I completely off or does this sound right?

    Thanks in advance

    With 2.5" front lift, and 1.5" rear lift, you will have 1" of factory rake (1" higher in the rear vs 2" like factory).

    Got it, thank you. For some reason I was thinking you still have factory rake to account for when changing springs (like it's how the frame is built or something).
