Some trucks can pull off a slight amount of forward rake but your generation truck needs to be level to look right. and damn does your truck look good

Yeah, it's fine within margins but beyond that to where it's ridiculous and obnoxious it's not okay at all. Not only is it dangerous, it looks flat out stupid and ignorant. And people who use half a 6" lift, should sell their truck to someone who knows how to take care of a truck and use it correctly. They don't deserve a truck anyways.
