04-08 Rake?
Blasphemy!
I think the rake is absolutely perfect on my '04.
I've never understood the front end "level" every one I see looks too high in the front.
Plus, the point of having it taller in the rear is for those crazy guys who use the bed of their truck for hauling loads...

I like a little bit of rake... not too much. My truck is perfect right now with a fully loaded toolbox and about 1000 lbs sand in the back.
Here's a good nose up pic of my truck...
I thought I was taking off in the space shuttle....

I use my truck like a truck. I've overloaded it more times than I can shake a stick at.
Today, after carefully excavating my trailer out of a snowbank using my front loader, I hauled a brand new Z1000 motorcycle for a buddy and some other junk. The truck loves to be worked.
Here's some really cool facts about my truck:
Most expensive load: ~$215,000. 30 Mac Pro 8 core systems, fully loaded with Microsoft Office, full Adobe Suite, CAD software, etc.
Heaviest load: ~2750 lbs, as shown in photo. Concrete that I used a jackhammer to pull up out of a entry way.
Most delicate load: Friend's 3 tier wedding cake.
Most copper wire that can fit in a 8' box heaping: $1170 in copper wire.
Most 2x2x1 raised server room floor tiles: 82 tiles. Each weighing in at 18 lbs a piece, probably around ~1500 lbs.
Most yards of mulch, not heaping, but compacted: 2 1/2 yards, wish I knew the weight.
