Rake or not

Hi, I have a 2012 f250crew Sits pretty level stock. Only 1/2" of rake. Not noticeable at all. Putting a 2.5" kit in front and wondering if I should go with 4" blocks which will be perfectly level or 5" and have 1" of rake. I occasionally tow a 31' camper. Never any serious off road. What do you think? Thanks...

It's all just personal opinion. What do you like.

I like the look of having the rear end higher, and my truck sags when towing or hauling a load (haven't gotten around to airbags yet). To me, most leveled trucks look like they ride nose high when empty, and worse when towing.

But as I said, it's all about what you like, not anyone else.

I put a 3†lift that came with a 2†rear block that made it a hair under 4â€. It does not sit level, it’s a hair higher in the back. I’m gonna get some 3.5†block. I don’t mind a hint of sag in the back as I can’t stand the regular ***-high rake.

I personally can't stand the rake look. The first thing I did to my 2011 when I got it was change the lift. I am OCD about it, and my trucks have to sit perfectly level haha.

I added 1.5” spacer up front to give a 1/2” rake, perfect level looks funny to me. Back end is all stock height.
