Rake Dilema

[1shetan]

We have just finished installing an Mt64 2" lift on our 2017, it was work, but great satisfaction doing our own. The kit came with the struts assembled, 4010 front springs and 2721 rears. The LC has no accessories nor the 3rd row seats.

Net lift was 1" in the front and 1 3/4 " rear. Why? We were informed when the kit was purchased that the clip would be on the second groove from the bottom on the struts.

The rake is more extreme (would prefer rake as the factory set up), the front did not receive the lift we expected. Ride is sporty but planted. Would it be assumed that trying to move the clip up one groove provide a bit more lift?how much? will that make the ride stiffer?

What is the best approach to adjust the front a bit higher, (hate to take it all apart again, but will have to)

If you like the ride, swapping to 2720 springs will lower the rear by ~1/2". The springs are designed to give a certain amount of lift with a certain amount of load. Perhaps it was expected by whoever spec'ed the kit that you would be carrying more weight? The 2720 and 2721 are progressive springs so that complicates things a little.

Some rake is a good thing, so I wouldn't worry about eliminating it completely.

Thank you for the info, great option. I was pretty specific that no accessories were being added. I would like to see if i can raise the front yet keep a little rake.

My MT64 fronts are set the third circlip up from the lowest, and with the OME 2720 rear springs it has a very slight rake. Yours with 2721 rear springs and the front circlip at the second position up from the lowest I can imagine yours is very raked.
