Hi guys. I did a tt to the front of my truck and added some shackles awhile back but I notice my truck has a slight rake to it. Its leaning towards the front of the truck. So I wanted to know what was the measurements of fellow trucks with a tt up front. I currently have 31's and no rubbing issues and obviously no binding issues but I wanted to see if I can inch the truck a little bit more to sit level.

I just did the TT twist yesterday. I measured from the ground to the top arch of the fender opening with stock wheels and tires. I started at 36 1/2 and now sit at 38 to match the rear with shackles.
 






thanks for the info! not sure if you can see it from this pic its a slight rake

From what I have read on here, you are safe up to 2 1/2 inches above stock height. Then the CV's start to wear out faster. If you are sitting low with only 1 1/2 shackle lift in the rear then you still have room to raise it. It's possible things have settled a bit since you did the twist.
 






Just got it back down on all fours and took it around the block to settle. I have 24 inches from center hub to center arch of fender flare in the front.
 






thanks alot buddy
