A modification designed to reduce or eliminate the factory rake on a particular model year of a heavy-duty pickup truck raises the front suspension to match, or nearly match, the height of the rear. This adjustment creates a more level stance. Aftermarket products exist to accomplish this for the specified Ford truck.
This adjustment offers several potential advantages, including improved aesthetics and increased ground clearance. It can also permit the use of larger tires. Historically, factory trucks often incorporate a significant rake for load-carrying capacity; this modification prioritizes a level appearance, particularly when the truck is unloaded.
