Anyone have any suggestions on eliminating the stock rake via a lowering kit? I'm not even sure if a typical drop kit levels out the vehicle or keeps it same stance? Any help /advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I am not sure of the outcome, but some people like to remove the rear lower 10mm spring spacer when fitting lowering springs to give less of a rake, the outcome with the stock spring is subject to experimenation.

Be careful whe doing a visual on the rake. The front wheel well is larger and taller than the rear. The only tru way would be to measure the frame well to the floor on an alignment rack

good point,it looks decieving when you only focus on the ground effects measurement off the ground

I assume by lowering the rear, you will bring the headlights up. Don't forget to re-aim them. That might be me you are blinding with your headlights.
