Question Does the Rusty's 3.25 kit remove the rake?

Folks,

Can anyone running the Rusty's 3.25 kit verify that it removes the front rake or will I need to add a spacer to the front also. I will be running the stock bumper for a long time, so no added weight yet. If you have a pic, side shot on flat pavement, that would be awesome!

Thanks!

Yes it removes the rake. I only have off road pics so I can't help you there.

I think it depends. I knew with my bumper and winch I would still have a rake. When I installed the lift I installed the spacers as well. It sat about 1/4" higher in front at first but when the springs settled it sits pretty level.

Here are a few pics (this is also with the 1" BL)

Yes, I am very happy with the kit. But I recommend you also get the adjustable lower front control arms and adjustable uppers in the rear. Fronts will correct your caster, rears will solve your drive line angles.

Rides great on road, and extremely capable off road, much more than I would have expected.

my kit rides pretty good, i would second the motion to get at a minimum front lowers and rear uppers
here is my 2 door the driveway is not completely straight that is why it looks liek the front is higher.
