Adding rake after level

[jeffrey5679]

I have bilsteins all the way around with the fronts at clip #5. Completely leveled my non ORP. Wish I had a little rake. Which way is best, springs or spacer for .5 - 1" of rake. Will I need another alignment?

If you do rear ORP springs in the back it would lift your truck .75-1" and no you wouldn't need to do another alignment.

I did exactly what you’re asking and installed ORP springs in the rear end after leveling. My front end on the 5100’s was taller than my rear when I leveled originally but I didn’t want to lower it any. I installed ORP springs in the rear and now have a very slight rake. It didn’t lift the rear very much.. maybe 3/4”

If you wanted to go higher you could always buy a spacer as well. I've seen half inch spacers on eBay and 1 inch spacers up to 3 inches. depends on what you want

How did the ORP springs feel in compared to your stock ones? stiffer? bouncier?

I have the ORP on my 21 and it's not stiff at all.

Sweet. Might buy some factory springs depending on how my level looks once I install it. I want a little bit of rake for when I tow.

I have a 21 BTS which has the ORP but it is unlabeled. This one rides so much better than the 4th hen I traded for it

You did the 5100's and hated them? :O I thought about doing those just to hold me off for a few months, but man I might just keep the spacers.

I noticed tiny bit floatier more comfortable feel and actually think the rear absorbs impacts better with less jarring in the cab. Overall very little difference.
