Default Opinion on new rake

Alright folks, I've been through some trials (and trails ) with a FT 2" BB and had to replace the rear spacers. I went with TF 2.5" spacers and now I got the rake back due to the difference between the two.

So does it look like a turd now??

Should I now spring for a pair of front spacers to match, or just leave it alone for now? Funds are kinda tight at this point so either way, it wouldn't happen too soon.




I don't think it looks horrible. What say everyone else?

BTW, the parking lot DOES have a bit of a slant towards the roadway so it's not ALL rake.

The slanted parking space kinda throws it off but I think other than that it looks fine.

doesnt bother me much; but for like $30 you can pick up a 1in spacer from teraflex and stack it on top of your ft spacer. I'm running 2-1/2 tf bb with the extra 1 in the front. Still has a slight rake but mine is an unlimited so its more noticable IMO.

I can't even tell from the pics.

EDIT: You can get the whole Daystar .75" kit for $30 at q-tec and use what you need.

Thanks for the opinions!

That's my thought as well. I've got a vaca comin up next month and just had to shell out $200 on the dog for the vet so mod money is pretty much tapped for now.

I can DEFINETLY tell a difference in the ride. Of course I've been running around with a spring hanging out for like a month

Ya know, shoulda just gone with the TF kit up front. By the time alls said and done, I'll have the whole damn kit on there

let's see, so far I've got the shock extensions, rear spacers, rear TB bracket and rear swaybar links. All purchased piecemeal

Don't suppose you can swing the donation of a pair of front spacers??
