question about the rake

[ryzabuv]

i lowered my 06 with dropzone springs and while they arent the best ride out there it lowered the front perfect but the back still has too much rake for me and i would like the car to sit level....anyone got any solutions, thanks

I did some searching and saw that the Drop Zone springs lowered 2 inches all the way round and that's why you still have the rake whereas my Eibach lowered the front 1.6 inches and the rear 2.0 inches and mine is just about level. There's not a heck of a lot you can do now, maybe spacers in the front to raise it up a bit. Not sure if you can cut some of the rear spring, maybe ask a shop that specializes in suspension what they think.

I have gold line slammers. While the look is awesome I really hate speed bumps...

2.75F 3.25R

Hey their ryzabuv,

The back of the PT should be 2 3/4" higher than the front the front. I wanted to get rid of as much of the stock wheel gap as possible when I originally dropped mine and opted for the Goldline Super Slammers which were supposed to level the PT with a 2.75/3.25, but it still had a lot of rake which really bugged the heck out of me! I was talking to a friend of mine that used to do custom suspension on off road race trucks, and he did the math and custom turned a whole new set of custom springs from scratch which gave my ride a full 3/5 drop setting the height at 4" on all four corners 100% Level. Here is a pic basically showing the differences between the springs.



And this is the current plan.



That is my thoughts on leveling it anyways. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help and way I can.

Go easy,

I will say when its slaps the ground it does look good. Too low for me, but it looks damn good..

I find it hard enough being lowered 1.6F/2.0R on the eibach/Tokico combo I run.. Speed bumps and driveways are a chess game sometimes.. And strange enough I like the rake - old school hot rods always leaned forward a bit..

I only installed the rear springs of a set of lowering springs and mine is level.
I didn't like the "butt in the air" look.
