Default front to rear height differences

my truck is a 2wd, i put 2" lowering shackles on the back of it and it is still 2" higher in the rear.....is that normal for the stock rear to pretty much be 4" higher than the front?.......i dont have any blocks or AAL on it......

its pretty normal for a full size to have a 4" rake. they are meant to take so much wieght without squatting. you could de-arch the springs 2" or put the stock shackles back in and get a flip kit, but bringing the rear down that far may require a c-notch to give the suspension some travel.

With about 1000lbs in the bed of my truck it stars to squat. Not to bad for a half ton.

Mine probably has like 2 1/4 rake if I took out the coil spring spacers. But I cant do that until I get my new rims/tires because my current tires rub.
