A suspension modification designed for a specific model year of Ford’s heavy-duty pickup truck aims to reduce the factory rake. This rake, where the rear of the vehicle sits higher than the front, is often implemented for load-carrying purposes. The modification achieves a more level stance, improving aesthetics and, in some cases, allowing for larger tires.
This alteration can provide an improved visual appeal and enhanced ground clearance at the front of the vehicle. Historically, such modifications have been popular among truck owners seeking a customized look and increased off-road capability without undertaking extensive suspension overhauls. The result is a vehicle that presents a more balanced profile and enhanced functionality for some users.
