Well I moved them to 3 9/16" and the truck went up 1/2". Problem is I dont think unthreading the plastic caps from the metal rods any further is a good idea. I feel like im at longest they'll go without the plastic cap popping off the metal threads. So ill have to buy some longer machine screws and make my own or something. But at least the rear end started to rise.

I figured this out, I just bought the 3" long 10-24 machine screws and cut the head off of them. That gave me that last bit of adjustment I needed. Total length ended up being 3 5/8" to sit level and 3 3/4" for a 1/2" rake back to front.

Wow... that's a major difference compared to what I have now... I used the strut cup and it's at 33.5 in front but I don't like how it rides so am about to install the drop spindles. Now seeing that the spindle don't go that low I'm seriously considering it... smh...

What tires do you have? I had the factory 18s up until 2 weeks ago and the front sat at 34 1/2. Jumping up to the 22" option raised the truck up over an inch but the wheel well gap is smaller and that's all I was concerned about. I really didn't want the thing slammed on the ground riding like a roller skate so for me this is perfect. Level, factory comfortable ride, and not a ton of wheel well gap.
