I like my rigs to have a little rake to them for the extra vision over the hood. I did however measure the front wrong when I welded the front frame section on. I measured the orange rig with 35s and the yellow rig with 39s. Thats 2 inches of the unanticipated rake. :P 1 inch was planned.I could raise the front but this is where it preforms best at that height. I could drop the rear by shortening the rear coil spacer but I like the feel on the trail and the look grew on me as the build went on. The cage was tapered down to add to the pencil down look in the rear.

I would have just said that the extra rake was to keep the front end a bit lower in order to improve the performance when climbing near vertical surfaces.   :)

Looks pretty mean though, I love the raked grill.

Isn't the word "easy" just a subjective term anyways?  ;)

 Mike's idea of easy is not always a shared thought.  Mike, did you get the gyro's hooked up ?  Looks good, see ya in a few weeks.
