I just recommend measuring your rake and setting it somewhere in between. Mine were set at 1.25" and I got about 0.75" of actual, probably because of my heavy skid plates.

I`d suggest the first setting that Bilstein recommends for stock vehicles.

Like you, I also prefer the rake so this position should maintain the stock stance.

ok thanks as i said just want it to set a little lower then the rear. I was thinking if I set it level then if i pull a trailer the rear would squat nothing heavy

My rear also went up 1/4"-1/2", so that's a factor too. I was down to about 2.25" of rake before the shocks and didn't lose much since the back went up as well.

If you ordered the parts, I'm assuming you're going to install them too. Try installing the rear first and seeing how the back goes. That will give you a better estimate of what to do on the front.
