Sure did. Got it done and added it to the write up even. Figured it's a good step for people to have the option of doing.

So I am just thinking here, but is it possible to induce a rake with body lifts? Say install 2" pucks towards the rear and only a .5" or 1" in the front? I was thinking angling the pucks to account for the angle at which the body will be at with the rake. Would this stress anything out?
I have maybe .5" of rake from my suspension, and if I can get more, then I'd be happier
Also, just curious, but does the rear bumper not attach to the frame like the front does? How come you don't need to do the 1" mod to the rear like you did to the front? I haven't yet peaked in that area of the car, but I will when I start designing my rear.

please DO NOT give your car a rake with a body lift.
technically you could do what your asking in terms of shorter body lift pucks in the front and bigger ones in the rear... if you were to do this, probably gradually increase in puck size as you go from front to back...
if you want rake... buy longer coils in the rear... Land Crusier (LC) 7 wraps, 8 wraps, 9 wraps. or any compatible rear coil that is longer than yours is currently
i have to admit... i ran a larger size tire in the rear that the front.. 265's in the front 285's in the rear... but this wasn't something i planned to keep long term
rear bumper is attached to the body, not the frame.. front bumper is attached to the frame, not the body.. so no need to adjust the rear bumper since it moves with the body

So it won't do any damage to my truck if I induce a rake with BL? I actually like the rake look, so if I WERE to get a BL and inducing a rake doesn't do any long term damage, then I will go for it.
The next time I change out my rear suspension, I will definitely look into the LC wraps. But that's probably years down the line, considering my suspension is new.

Absolutely do not try to change rake with a BL. That is one of the worst ideas ever.
I've installed a BL and I can tell you that what you are describing will cause damage over time. That is just my opinion, I'm not an automotive engineer, but I think it would be a TERRIBLE idea.

No, on a manual there should be no adjustment needed. On another note, when some people do their lift in an automatic, they need to adjust their linkage due to slight displacement on the proper PRND spots on the shifter lights. I didn't have to adjust mine at all, but I guess it would depend on the tolerances to which your automatic was set to initially.

Anyone have issues with steering post install? 1 inch Toytec with the rag-joint spacer and now everything feels too tight. No center correct happening from my steering wheel after the corner.

I am hurt you got one from TOYTECH. Even tho I know the answer and should bite my toung and left you suffer I won't be that mean.
That's because you need to slide your slip yoke down. It's pulling steering shaft that goes into the rack up.
That's your problem. Once it's adjusted correctly you shouldn't have a problem.
Loosen the single bolt that clamps around the steering shaft and tap it around. Up or down and it should help settle it into place.
Problem solved

Playing devil's advocate, please explain without using your feelings and opinion why inducing a rake with a body lift is a bad idea?
