12-26-2011 10:11 PM  Someone explain what rake is? Looking to do
the bilsteins but keep seeing people mention rake. No clue what
it is and what I should be looking for after installation.
CdnoilRAM 12-26-2011 10:39 PM  Rake is just the term we use for
the back end of the truck being higher than the front. Stock
there's about 2-3" of difference. This is why people buy
levelling kits, to level the front with the rear or vice versa.

people mention it with towing in mind, etc  CajunDodge
12-28-2011 02:28 AM  I don't know about a "target" rake, but
Kurtis probably explained it better than I could. The rake is
there to help accommodate the payload which is why when people
who lower the rear and still intend to use their truck for
towing/hauling and want to retain something close to stock
payload install helper bags to keep the rear from sagging while
still being able to support the extra weight.
