calculate my rake close as possible please

Lift is pretty much decided on:

881 fronts and 891 rears (springs)

N91S front shocks and N86 rear shocks

Thanks for all your input and opinions.

Does this setup seem like I am asking for trouble with too much rake (rise in back end) ?

thanks

If any rake at all, my guess would be in the 1/2inch range...nothing extreme like the LC's in an unloaded rear/ without custom bumper.

I don't believe I had any rake at all when i had that set-up
Ron, you'll be fine- you are very thorough in your research!
Do it!

thanks I am getting super stoked now-just verifying install details

And I apologize that must have sounded real lazy and sort of bossy-
"calculate my lift"
after I thought about it I realized I could likely compare the spring heights and get within a 1/2 inch or so. Thanks all for helping me out -as you can tell I am a nervous nellie for these kinds of changes-okay any changes....

Good deal, I have ordered a few times form trdparts4u, outstanding customer service and orders arrive a lot faster than I expected.

Enjoy your new lift

Toytec was a good 20% higher. Nice guys and they answered my every question. Sales tax is a killer issue here. Wish we lived in Oregon....for play and lack of sales tax.

I get a good deal on UPS shipping here at work-we build water play structures.
