Trailer Tow rake vs. non Trailer Tow rake

[dionb]

Okay so i know this has been debated a bit but lets start new.
I just picked up my '22 402a with Trailer Tow.
Rear tire to fender is 10.5"
Front tire to fender is 6.75"
Can one of you that DOES NOT have Trailer Tow measure and see what you come up with? Did we ever figure out that the Trailer Tow adds extra rake? This has to be modified ASAP as far as i am concerned which brings up another question: Should i just add the 2.5" puck system (and which one?) to the front and await a better all around system to come at a later date? I am super happy with the stance on the back and just want to level out!

No one on this forum has a good answer as to the differences between Trailer Tow package option vs base 22 402a tremor (incl tow tech package), need another user like yourself to post all the details about leaf springs, rake height, radiator pictures, wiring connectors at hitch, etc to compare the two.

Regarding level/lift kits i suggest this thread https://www.f150tremor.com/threads/leveling-kit.46/page-21#post-11781

I don't support another thread on this topic.

That said, you should measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender. That way tire size or inflation doesn't factor in.

I am just looking to determine if the rake is more with the Trailer Tow package. All i need as another person without Trailer Tow to take the same measurement as me for comparison. I know the rest is also under debate but that is not my purpose for this thread

This is the second thread you made of information already covered in other threads that span over months, how about you just post in those threads? Same thing with the climate control knobs thread.

Makes a new account, posts duplicate threads and information, shits on the guy (thats been around far longer then you have) telling you its duplicate info and we don't need another thread on it - way to become popular in the community.

Well the same can be said about shitting on the new guy and making him feel part of the community. A more friendly option would be to help a buddy out like steamboatdevil (thanks btw) did when i couldn't find such thread. That is what i call community but you do do you you dude.

My thought is that it comes down to the block size differences. My block was over 2" and had a ton of rake. After a 2.5" AS level i still have an inch or so which i am totally fine with!

There is no difference in the rake with tow or non tow package.
