If the rear end is stock configuration (axle UNDER springs) lowering blocks 
become raising blocks.  Not helpful in your case.

I have a question!

The stance of our existing frame is a little too extreme for me. We have a
4.5" drop from rear to front.

I expect the rear to drop a little with the bed and bumper added on, but not
much. I expect the front to drop some as well when the motor and tranny and
body are assembled.

However, my gut tells me that this is still too much of a rake to look good.

What rake do you all have on your rigs? What do you suggest as far as total
drop from rear to front?

My current solution is to assemble the truck, then add lowering blocks in
the rear to get the rake I want. Would anyone do something different here?
