Looking to get some rake back into the truck.

Hi, I came here for advice on rear spring/shock setup which would allow me to get slight rake back into the vehicle for carrying heavy loads or towing, I'm running a toytec 3" lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks, SPC arms etc., Spring kit came with the 2" lift superflex coils in the rear.
I'm trying to gain additional 1/2-1" lift in the back. What are my options? Perhaps someone had to do a similar change. Thanks.

Assuming you like the spring rate as-is, some simple spacers would probably be the easiest and most cost effective. You unbolt your shocks and sway bars, then drop the rear end just enough to slide them in. I ran some briefly when I was still playing around with rear setups.

Dobinsons has some, I know other manufacturers make them too, in a variety of thicknesses.
