Default Rake?

I think the "rake" on my 07 X is messed up,I measured the top front fender to the ground and it measured 36" I measured from the top of the rear fender to the ground it is 35" . So the back is 1" lower than the front, Is this normal?

I tow a utility trailer from time to time could this have damaged the rear springs or something ?

The fenders are not a good place to measure for rake because they can move very easilly. The best location to measure is at the frame.

I just checked and you are right the rear is 1/4 higher than the front. It just looks decieving because of the gap between the tire and the fender.
Thanks for your help
