Sometimes I notice a truck that is stock height in the rear and is lifted in the front past level. I have a buddy from California that claims everyone on the West Coast does that to their truck. What is the deal? Is there a purpose for this?

 

nope,,they just like the look. i hate it and would rather have the rear a inch or 2 higher

 

cali lean! its the ****. i love it. my truck sits a little over half an inch taller in the front, i wish it was over an inch taller in front.

 

It makes the truck resemble the CORE race trucks.

 

it aint just cali its everywhere! it also makes the truck look higher from the front cuz the bumper is turned up a little. some like it, some dont, but i think it looks better than havin a lifted truck with the nose turned down like you got a shackled up muscle car

 

Man, I remember that in high school. Every kid with a car over 10 years old thought they were cool if they installed a set of shackles or air shocks on the rear of their car and a set of white letter tires and chrome wheels. They thought it gave them the "Pro Street" look with the rear up in the air. Few realized the Pro Street look came from running wide tires in the rear and small tires up front.

 

some just prefer a bulldog stance. my truck sits like 1.5'' higher in the front, and i like it that way.

 

lots of people prefer thier truck to look like thier fat girlfirend is hiding in the bed, you should see a truck that's been "bull dog'd" hooked to a heavy trailer it's pretty funny but for teh guys that like the look and don't tow much they can drive around pretend they have a real prerunner

 

Rather have it look like theres a fat chick in the bed then have my truck be lower to the ground then a stock 2wd tacoma

 

I haven't heard it explained that way before

 

My truck is about an inch higher in the front, and I still tow my 8000 lb. Tahoe trailer. The rake doesn't effect towing... It just looks bad @$$ while towing too!

 

I'm not big on the bulldog look. I was worried that a 2" level might give me that look, and I was prepared to correct it if need be, but I'm fine. I'm not sure if I'd have to do anything if I started towing something heavier, but I'd never let the *** sag like a Dodge. Not only would I highly dislike staring at the sky, but my truck would be a bad rep for the F150.

 

makes you either look cheap, and can't afford the rear lift parts...

or you have a large amount of bricks or something in there

truck looks broken

or you can't install lifts properly.

Just my opinion anyways.

and yes, I would think it affects towing. Your truck isn't designed to be sagging in the rear heavily while towing.

 

I think it makes the truck look weaker if the rear end is sagging under load, looks even worse when the rear is lower and not under load.

 

lol, I don't like a huge rake, just about an inch taller in the front.
