Looked and couldn't find this info. Did the Biis come with a factory rake? Mine didn't look like it had any, but I didn't measure before I tore the whole thing apart...dirp.

I have seen leveling kits that say they raise the front end 2 inches. Now if I want a 2 inch level lift, the I need to lift the front 4 inches and the back 2? Is this correct?

Now if there was no rake then lift 2 in the front and 2 in the back?

I'd love to give you an answer but my only experience with the B2 is my own. With a 1/4 tank of gas is sits about level. With a full tank and my 50 lb kid in the back it has a negative rake.

My credo
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
When I did my block/spacer lift originally, I had a 2 inch block in the back, and about a 2.5 inch spacer (custom) in the front and it sat level. I just posted pics in the "show me your lifted BII" thread of the original lift and my new 4 inch-ish lift...

Mine sat basically level when I got it back in '04.



Dunno how much gas was in it when that pic was taken.

Like most leaf sprung Ford SUV's the trend has always been squatting since nearly new.

Not sure if they had a rake new but it would be weird to see one with a rake...
