    I have a 2018 SR5 with a 4/2 BDS lift. She sits and looks level , slightly higher in the front. What are my options for a slight rake.? BDS doesn't have a 2.5 rear block.? I don't tow , might use for minor hauling . What options do I have ? Anyone have pictures of yours with slight rake ? Bigger tires coming at a later date. 20220119_102223.jpg

    Too many, but not enough....
    shackles are probably the best option as far as reliability, ease of install and price. Are you on blocks now? Do you have factory rear shocks? Be careful with too much travel on the shocks, they should be rated for the lift that you have.

    rear shackle or add a leaf, or all new lifted leaf springs. Shackle is often best for most, rides better, can lift from an inch to 1.5 depending on what you get, and install is easier than the others, cost effective too.

    If you do a lot of hauling and towing, you may want to look at RAS (activesuspension.com). Will lift about an inch but more importantly, stops squat when towing or loaded so you dont run around nose high in a lifted or leveled truck.

    Shocks in the rear are fox 2.0 . 2inch block is the rear lift. Not gonna be towing. Hauling might be a few hundred pounds at most. Thank you fellas, appreciate those options.

    Shackles and extended bump stop height to compensate for the longer shackles. You don't want the long shackles to force the springs beyond their intended limits.
