I have posted a few pics of my truck on here, but being there are few members that are running the same setup. I do not tow. Only haul lumber and pavers from time to time lol.
jp360cj I am thinking if you have around 2.5inch leveling kit and you still sot rear high I would have extreme rake issues with only 1.75ish inches. 4.6 intruder, i think pavers and lumber are a pretty good indictor of how an all would handle a trailer. I know we filled my old truck with pavers and it it sagged much more than my travel trailer with a weight distribution hitch. I guess I might try removing the block and just using an add a leaf. if it wasn't for the camper shell I would not be concerned but it does add some weight by itself.

Yes I think with the front at 1.75 you would want to pull the rear block. That's actually the setup I want. The shop that installed my leveling kit said it was a 2", but I'm pretty sure it was a 2.5".
And for reference, here's a pic with about 900# of mulch in the bed. With the Bakflip and toolbox making about 1000# and it set level.
I have the bilsteins on all corners. The fronts are maxed. I have the procomp aal in the rear. The ride is great. Had this setup on a Toyota a while back and enjoyed it too.

Do you feel like the down travel has suffered any being at the maximum setting?
I also vote for Add a leaf. Worse case scenario drop the rear block and get even less axle wrap. Stock springs are a joke if you use truck as truck. I had my stock springs bent at 30,000km. Granted I have probably lightest duty stock rear springs, but still.
I personally like rear rake, like even stink bug rake, but dropping rear block is a bit of your time, and zero dollars so long as U bolts are threaded the whole way.
I haul 600+ lbs daily including the topper/cap and all my gear and tools, and tow a #1100 dry weight enclosed trailer for work and a #2250 pop up camper for long weekends.
My add a leaf, tires, and tuner made me go from hating my truck to liking it.

I don't have a leveling kit, but intend to run 1.75-2" on a coil over kit in the future. Currently the payload keeps the rear closer to the front, but it is still high
I'll see if I can post a pic of my truck empty but with the cap on to give an idea of the rear rake.
