One More Lowering Question

I want to lower my truck 2 and 4. Will this still have some rake? I have seen trucks that were 2 and 5 and they look level, and I don't want that when I lower it. I still want the front a bit lower. Is 2 and 4 ok, or would a 2 and 3 be better?

Try to find a level surface and measure you truck to see how much taller the rear is.

I guess now that I go back my question sounds a little dumb. Right now in stock form the rear is I think 3-4 inches taller than the front, measuring between the tire and fender. So a 2 and 4 drop should keep that look. But some kits and brands of trucks react differently. My friend just did a 3 and 4 on his 2004 Silverado and it is SLAMMED. My truck that same kit I am fairly sure would not be that dramatic.
