How much rake do you have left?

I only have about 1/2 inch of rake. To the naked eye it looks perfectly level. I want to add some rake as when I haul my tools the back end sags lower than the front. If roadmasters increase height I think that may be the best option

Totally get that. I am trying to avoid nose high with either a load in back or pulling a trailer. At least with RAS you could try the low setting first, and always have the high setting to fall back on.

This is taken from Daystars instructions as to why a spacers thickness may not equal height:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The advertised amount of lift that this kit provides and the thickness of the spacers supplied will not be the same! For example, a 2-1/2” lift may only have 1-1/2” thick spacers. The reason for the difference between the spacer thickness and the amount of lift has to do with suspension geome-
try. There is a ratio involved, and it is this ratio that determines the thickness of the spacers. Rest assured, installing the spacer supplied will result in the proper amount of lift out at the wheel.
So the above guys that posted are right. The funny thing is that if they can figure out how much spacer is needed for 2 inches of lift why not for 1?
Either way I love the look it gave me
