This is a '66 my dad bought/sold not too long ago. It had 5.5" front drop with spindles & springs. The rear was coilovers with c-notch.

Not ideal for a routine driver unless it has bags, but I'm sure it works great for what it was intended. Pretty cool rake though!

We set up the burb with a bit more "rake", kinda like the rear up a bit.

It still needs to be able to haul and tow...

New rear suspension. The truck got more rake. Is it to much or is it cool? I will buy new bigger front tyres to get the front up a little bit.

What is the most amount of rake you can get out of just using adjustible shocks, like HiJackers, and standard front end?

In the day I remember just pumping up the Gabriels and that was enough of a rake.

Why not just put rear bags in, Shorter tire up front, Or BIGGER IN REAR? I have both shorter tire 2" and bags with Schrader valves for now.

Traditionally the old school hotrod rake:

Here is mine as it currently sits. I go back and forth on whether to leave it alone, drop the front a bit more or drop both the back and the front. Thoughts?

I have also been debating whether to turn it from an 8 foot bed into a 7 foot bed...but that is for a different thread. (Oh! I made a rhyme.)

What does your suspension setup consist of? I really dig the slight rake.

Not mine.
Just a pic I found online.

That truck belonged to my dad. It had 2.5" spindles & 3" springs up front. The rear was a coilover setup with C-notch. He bought it like that from a guy my brother worked with. Dad only had it a few months before reselling.

Thanks. It's hard to believe that's the same truck.

Oops, that's odd! When I got my email subscription notification it linked me to a pic of my dad's old truck corresponding to LostMy65's quote. Now it definitely shows a different truck.

Sorry bout that!

Yes, that's the truck.

Still holding a 2-5 degree rake just lower.

Brutus has a pretty good rake-

Perfect. This is the stance I'm going for on my 62 fleet side. Will 3 in drop springs in rear and torsion bar adjust achieve this?

Vary cool, but I hope they have good seat belts to keep them from falling out of there seats every time they stop, but I guess in a car like that you don't do much stopping.
