Agreed, pretty much impossible to see how wonky the rake is now from that height. Needs a low straight side shot like this:

Running Eibach, no problems Base 09 C2 Cab, with 20" HRE wheels. Yes a little stiff compared to stock, but totally acceptable even with the 20" wheels. Thinking about adding wheel spacers 7F,15R

I have Eibachs currently as well and the rear is higher than the front for sure. It still retains the rake. You might also want to double check with the shop that did the install to make sure they didn't install the springs in the wrong order. ie, fronts springs in the rear and vice versa. Pretty sure that shouldn't be the case but, I'd check everything to be safe.

Im no expert but that would be difficult to do, considering the springs base sizes compared to strut hats.

Mine actually lowered more in front than rear
