The raspberry truck is a ZQ8 and I remember him say he put a little more drop on it. I don't know if that was front and rear or how much.

Thanks for the help. Do you think you could guess if you think tires on that truck are 50 series? I agree with your suggestion to start with 2/2. I was hung up on not wanting rear blocks and I want to maintain the rake. I've decided to go with 2/2 and if I decide I want 3/3 I'll get the lower coils and 1" blocks wouldn't be the end of the world. Tire size can affect the scrub line that much

Comparing the pictures again, I think the raspberry truck has less rake than the black one with original stance. Maybe 2/3 is what I'm after, so -3" leafs. I'm not doing anything about this till this summer, so more time to think and possibly catch someone out and about with the stance I'm after and ask what they did.
