That is the only benefit that I see to these springs over using something else instead. I achieves the rake without stacking spacers so you can get unstuck while moving forward. However, I just reinstalled my lift
and I used my stock rear springs with the Z71 shocks. I have not measured yet, but there is a visible rake. Not much, but visible. There is the potential for it to sag if I load too much in the back, but that can be corrected with airbags inside the springs without having to go any higher. I like a level ride, so this works for me.
I don't know if anyone else is running the same rear setup here, but I have a feeling they will say the same thing.
