Not sure you’re too far off of being practical. Though a pic might help me realize what your measurements look like.
You want it sitting level at your loaded “weekend weight” so you don’t look like the asshat squatting like those Texas rigs
I know I purposely did a 99talls in front (lowest spring perch)with a progressive Dobinson(v137?) in rear that lifts 2.5”
Lift I estimate 1” front 2.5” rear just going by suspension claims.
The rake is super noticeable when my rack isn’t on. I have a 4 bike rack that weighs about 90#. And is still raked with it in. And I still have #50+of gear/platform in back and a pretty big skybox that’s probably #40 empty. This is all standard load prior to sticking bikes on it and my weekend gear. Rides level with 3 people, and gear.
So, match it to your needs is the bottoms line.
