Maybe I am blind but I don’t see one. If anything I see like a 1% rake but that is still considerably less than the stock SAS.Am I reading this wrong? The bottom photo sure looks a rake to me. A pretty big one.

What about the Rough Country 2"When doing a search for a even lift such as 1 and 1 or 2 and 2 there is nothing being offered.
Both are leveled lift.What about the Rough Country 2"

I was actually thinking of doing this 2"-2.5" front. 1.5" rear kit myself.
.5" difference from back to front should be hardly noticeable.

Rough Country Doesn't look to be!Both are leveled lift.
I was under thr impression that the non-sas OBX didn't have rake. But I do like your plan to get the 2.4 up front and 2.2 in the rear!Most importantly the front ratio is about 1.47 and I have read that the rear is about 1.10. That is to say that a 1 inch spacer in the front results in 1.47 inches of lift, and a 1 inch spacer in the rear results in 1.10 inches of lift (give or take - the front is pretty easy to tell from pictures, the back is not so easy).
RC 1 inch level kit is:
2 front only 0.25 spacers
4 front or rear 0.19 (3/16) spacers
If you use all of these in the front you get 0.62 x 1.47 = 0.92
RC 2 inch lift/level kit is:
4 front or rear 1.6 inch spacers
If you put them in the corners you get:
Front 1.6 x 1.47 = 2.4
Rear 1.6 x1.10 = 1.8
These can be combined in many ways to produce different outcomes. I had the RC 3.5 kit (3.7 front/3.5 rear) but decided not to go that direction (37s).
My plan (should my wife get her non-sq OBX) is to use all 4 of the 0.19 shims in the back w.92 ith the 2 inch kit, and get:
Front 1.6 x 1.47 = 2.4
Rear (1.6 + 0.19 + 0.19) x 1.10 = 2.2
This will keep most of the rake, and should be a good fit for 35s. The rear track bar is fairly long and this moderate lift should not result in much offset. My personal opinion is that front lifts are pretty safe up to 2.6. The front can be upped to 2.7 by adding the 0.25 shims, and I will risk that if it needs to be more level.
I'm not gonna lie... when I first saw this I thought it was the worlds worst, most obnoxious exhaust system in history, attached to a basket for some reason.Its a Kuat Pivot2, about $400, which extends the hitch receiver away from the spare tire, as well as being a swing-out hinge. With a swinging rear door, I have to swing the bike away to open the door. To that is mounted a Kuat NV 2.0, flat load, fold up bike rack. With the accessory work station, it was about $650. I can also put other racks on the Pivot2, like a fishing gear rack. See photos. I leave the Pivot on the hitch, and change out racks.
Although in this photo perspective, it looks like the bike is wider than the car, it is not. In fact, the OBX fenders are wider than the bike.
Like you I have seen various degrees of rake show up across all models. From what I have seen the non-sas OBS's look about dead level with the RC 1 inch in the front, or the RC 2 inch all around. That would mean that they came with a rake between 0.6 -0.9 inches. I want to keep most of that rake, but put 35s on. So, I will be using the round spacers (they are so thin I call them shims) from the 1 inch level kit, in the back.I was under thr impression that the non-sas OBX didn't have rake.

The 2" RC lift makes sense, but the RC 1" level gives you a total of 0.92" max lift for front and back combined doesnt sound great !
I had not seen that the 4wheel parts lift could be adjustable in the front. Thank you for posting that. I'm definitely going 2" in front, 1.5 in rear. This will hopefully keep a touch of rake, but less than factory.What about the Rough Country 2"

Various Stages: I'm still contemplating what lift I might want. From studying the 4wp shocks and other components, I like that the coilovers are adjustable from 1" to about 3". That means I could start with 33" tires at 1" lift, and raise the adjustable coilover shocks later with larger 35" tires. 4wp additionally recommends that their UCAs be added for the 35" tires, as well as their rear track bar.I had not seen that the 4wheel parts lift could be adjustable in the front.

how do you get a higher ratio that 1:1? If it's sitting at an angle, it seems you'd get less than 1:1 ratio, not more. Are these ratios provided by RC?Most importantly the front ratio is about 1.47 and I have read that the rear is about 1.10. That is to say that a 1 inch spacer in the front results in 1.47 inches of lift, and a 1 inch spacer in the rear results in 1.10 inches of lift (give or take - the front is pretty easy to tell from pictures, the back is not so easy).

RC did not provide the ratios. The front end is from measuring pivot locations in various photographs here. Most people have stated 1:1.5 for the front, which matches pretty well.how do you get a higher ratio that 1:1? If it's sitting at an angle, it seems you'd get less than 1:1 ratio, not more.
