Rake after lift - Billstein 5100 question

It's been about 2 months since my lift was installed and the front settled with a slight rake. At first I wasn't going to do anything about it, but the rake is starting to bug me lately. I did the Wheelers T1/T12 lift with Billsteins set at 0. I also put a 1/4 inch spacer on the driver's side to correct lean. My question is, if I go up to the first notch on the billsteins, how much lift am I going to get? My rake isn't too extreme, but I'd hate to end up with reverse rake.

Thanks

What are your measurements from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender?

Finally got around to taking measurement on a level area. The following measurements are from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender.

Front left: 22"
Front right: 22"
Rear left: 23.5"
Rear right: 24"

Not really sure what to make of this considering I put a 1/4 inch spacer on the driver's side front...

The first notch up is supposed to be 0.85”

But does that equate to 0.85 of actual lift? I've read you will get more than that in the front, just not sure whether to do the first notch or second.

I believe it is .85" of lift because the space between the notches is smaller than that.

Thanks. Any reason why my front left isn't higher than the right even though it has a 1/4 inch metal spacer? Seems odd to me.

the 1/4" spacer is compensating for the lean that is present, the spacer is doing what is supposed to do by evening out the front end.
