I prefer either level or about 1" rake. I HATE the Carolina squat, looks like you didn't have enough money to finish a lift. They are banned here in NC but not sure how much it's enforced.

Wow, I did’t know they actually made a law to stop it!

For obvious safety reasons...they can't aim their head light down and PO everyone coming their way...and they can't see over their hood...lol...

Side note: I just noticed your profile photo. Reminds me of the spaceship scene from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”! o_O

in NC - The bill prohibits trucks from having their front fenders 4 inches or more above their rear.
NC, SC & Virginia have laws banning squatted trucks, few other states are discussing it

I saw an F150 this weekend on the way to Smithfield, Va with a stupid Carolina squat. It didn't look safe at all. Every time he hit the slightest bump, the front wheels wobbled side to side. Looked totally amateurish.
I think NC is where a kid got killed because a truck with the Carolina squat didn't see the kid in front of him.

I'd not heard of the 'Carolina Squat' before. A google search revealed a level of stupidity I'd not thought possible after seeing this:
