OK i was looking at getting some bigger shackles...I have 1" lift type and was gonna get 2 or 2.38 inch from synergy offroad but what i wanna know before i buy is there such a thing as having too much rake? Jiggs AWESOME trucks sit up 2inches higher in the back than in front ...is that safe? my truck sees more road than off and it is my daily driver...does it affect body roll or anything hazardous like that? look at the pic see what i mean... AND would an extra .38 of an inch make a difference between the two shackles?

I thonk it will just be a little harder on your front end parts.

a 2 inch difference should be just fine.. the majority of full size pickups have a 2 inch height difference from fron to rear.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. Too much rake can in fact be a problem, since it'll cause vibrations in your driveline due to an extreme pinion angle... but you have a long way to go before that's an issue.
FWIW, i have 3" of suspension lift in the rear with no problems. I have 1" in the front, which is where that 2" difference came from.
