Factory Rake Gone After 5100's Installed ( PICS )

It was a nice warm day for us folks in Indiana today so I thought I would give the truck a nice wash so I could take some pics of the truck sitting level now. I had the Bilstein 5100's installed & had them ( fronts only ) set at the
2" setting. Here is a before and after pic just to show the difference that these shocks make at getting rid of the factory rake !

Before


After


P.S. To anybody that has photoshop & some spare time, could you make me a new sig ? My current sig is before I did any mods & I would like to have a new one if at all possible just PM me. Thanks

Thanks for the comments. Maybe after tax time I can go with a bigger tire than the stock size

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember right when I got my 5100's from Top Gun they were already set at the 2" setting.
