What is the average factory rake?
I have a 2016 Supercrew xlt 4x4. I bought my truck used and the dealership had already added a leveling kit and 33s. I measured the front leveling spacer and it measured 1.25”, which I believe to be a 2” leveling kit. I’m not sure of the brand. It has the factory rear block. I currently have about 1 1/8” rake. I’m am thinking about adding Bilstein 5100s on .75” setting. What I am looking for is average factory rake to calculate how much lift the installed leveling kit netted.

Thanks for the input! After reading more it seems most rake is around 2 3/4”. So I am assuming I have about 1 3/4 lift. I think adding 5100s set at .75” and a 2” rear block will set me up good for 35s.

You could take out the factory block for $0 to make it level, and not put any additional stress on the front end.

Most folks do the level to level the truck and or to fit larger tires.
Sounds as though you're wanting to keep the rake?

I do want a slight rake. 1” compared to the factory rake looks good IMO. I like the stance of my truck, I just want it to slightly higher front and rear. I just did not want to go higher than 2.5” so not to stretch geometry angles too much.

From what I have read 1.5” or 2” spacers with bilsteins set at .75” gives a nice firm ride. Better than going with 5100 set at max 2.1” height. Not setting the shock at max reduces the pre-load of the spring.
