Recently removed my 2” front level kit. Rake with 2” level was 1/4” higher in rear(basically level)...makes sense.

Added 2.5” front and 1” rear level. After measurements, yes the front is now 1/2” higher in front as expected. Current rake is now 1.25” higher in the rear. Doing the math I figured I would end up with a 3/4” rake which was the goal. Now 1/2” higher than desired at 1.25”.

Question: The rear spacers don’t work off of added geometry like the front do they? The rear spacers installed measure actual 1”.

Note: Have max tow so auto load leveling shocks in rear.

Anyone have any ideas/input as to why this might be, or have any idea where I might find a 1/2” rear spacer?

Nice Tahoe!

I'm not familiar with it but it looks like a quality part. I'd run it with no concerns if I wanted a 1/2" rear lift.

Thanks! Do you have as much rake with your 2”/1” level?

I have virtually no rake at all. But mine's an '08 2WD with 195K on the springs. Also have a non-functioning Auto Level system. If that did work, it'd probably be about an inch higher in the rear.
