umm yea rake sucks. your 4wd correct?  ill be working on this as well, im also in the process of making new alignment cams for the control arms because im almost out of alignment. How are your alignment cams?the reason that im working on this is because i plan on lifting the truck an add 2 -3" suspension lift. with a 1.5" bodylift on top of that. this is on top of the 5"cst lift i have.

bj flip will give you a little more out of your cams, the cst lift should not max out your cams because it retains stock geometry but if you are going to home build another 3 inchs then you will def max them out.

lol yea 2wd i kno i kno its only 2wd i get rode about it all the time. Yea the cst kept the stock geo pretty good. there is some alignment left. what i had in mind was this set of parts from suspension maxx   http://suspensionmaxx.com/mm5/smx10185x.html the kit comes with coil spring spacers, height adjusting shims, balljoint shims. that will be approx 2.5" of lift in the front and im going to do the axle flip in the rear to bring it up.
