Pic request of cars with neutral rake

Here is mine with a neutral rake. The front looks like a monster truck but damn does it handle well like this. It measures 7.5" off the ground at each pinch weld near the jack points.

I would worry less about rake and more about corner balance.

Rake is set first then fine tuned by corner balancing.

So why did you choose neutral rake?

Monster truck? Looks fine. I think you are over thinking the rake bit. Its less important and used to fine tune the cars handling per driver wants.

Spring rates, corner balance, alignment, etc come first.
