Default Teraflex coil springs will they correct my front rake?

I currently have a 2.5" bb spacer lift. I want to eliminate the front rake. However I still want 2.5" of lift. I just don't want the rake, I want a level 2.5" of lift. If I bought just the front coil springs with 2.5" of lift built into them would that correct the rake problem? In which then I could just leave the rear alone because it already has 2.5" spacers in the rear.

A leveling kit will cure the rake. A coil lift will usually level out the ride as well, but sometimes a spacer will help if it is not level enough after you get the lift. My rear sagged a little bit till i put a spacer on

with the coil lifts, if you use the supplied rear isolator, the rear will sit alittle higher. that is to compensate for a bigger tire, heavier rear bumper, and carrying a load inside. if you have factory tires and bumper, just do not use the rear isolator. if you are using the teraflex shocks, you shouldnt need anything else. if you have longer shocks, you will also want to use some rear coil retainers to keep the rear coils on the lower perch. the TF coil lift, as far as ride quality, is worth the money, IMO.

with teraflex, if any coil starts to sag from anything other than just the addition of heavier parts and if those parts were removed the sag would be fixed, im confident that they will replace it at no cost to you.

i have bought 2 teraflex lifts. they both have been top notch and the ride was amazing. Northridge4x4 was running a sale, not sure when it ends, but the discount code was holiday6 (over $500). if the sale is still active, now is the time to buy!!!!

You need to lift front more than back to remove rake. If you have 2.5" lift in back you need 3.5" to 4" lift in front. Keep in mind extra weight of winches and bumpers.
