Looks perfect to me with the bit of rake, but it's all preference IMO. Do YOU like how it looks? Or you can just wait a little longer and ask the cop for his opinion when he comes to write you a ticket for blocking a handicap zone
Kinda wish it was a little more level, but I don't want to end up with reverse rake either. It rides perfect so maybe I'll leave it as is, just needed some confirmation, thanks!

Hey guys do you think I have too much front rake? Or am I over thinking this?
I personally like it more level than you have it now. I've never liked the +2" rear coils because you have to crank up the fronts more than i'd like just to sit close to level. I went with 1" rear coil from CSS to achieve rear lift and didn't have too much of a UCA angle for levelness

Lift is only a couple months old so I'll give it time before making any changes, thanks!

I thought the Icon lift would level the truck, that's what the shop that did the install told me. I may go back and see if they can crank up the fronts a little. Just wanted to get some feedback first, thanks!
I noticed you are in SD, you should check out the SoCal forum on this site, we just did a cool evening trail ride up Santiago Peak. We had about 4 5th gens come out.

I didn't realize there was a socal section on here. thanks
i had ICONS on my FJ but didn't like having to crank them up due to the limited down travel afterwards and UCA angles

I have a similar rake with my OME 898's in the rear. I have my Icons cranked up quite a bit in the front with no ill effects after a year. I got the heavy rear coils in anticipation for a rear bumper in the future. I also can not stand a reverse rake when you load your rear end down.
You should just crank them up yourself and get another alignment. It is a simple task as long as you have a spanner wrench.

What's CSS? And do they sell them online?

I have Icon Stage 2 with MT long travel in the rear and when i first installed the lift my truck was level, but now i start adding some weight to the front and i have the rake. The front is heavier so it will settle faster then rear, i know some people put heavy load in the rear to help settle it. I'm waiting until i put full skid plates and then going to crank the coilovers to level the truck. BTW truck looks good.

Coil spring specialists
They make custom coils based off existing manufacturer part numbers and specs.
I ordered mine initially for my FJ with 1" of additional height and 15% more load capacity.
