I don’t think it’s needed, but I’d go with the 1.5” RPG collar.

Most people on here report that the 1.5” collars work for them. Some say it is slightly nose high. Some say it is “dead level”. I think that the measurements all depend on what you have in the bed and sometimes, how much fuel you are carrying! These trucks have VERY soft springs and I have seen conflicting info, regarding what collars actually get you “level”. Some people say just go with 1” in the front and be done...just seems like a lot of trouble to only get 1” more clearance in the front. I’ll get my 2.25” front and 1” rears installed next week. I figured, if I’m going through the trouble of ordering parts, making appointments, leaving work and dropping off the truck, I might as well just go a little bigger! 37’s shouldn’t be a problem, once my tires wear down and need to be replaced.
Best thing to do; Measure the center of your front fender to the ground and center of your rear fender to the ground. That will give you a good idea as to what it will take to get you “level”. Wait until you have at least 500-1000 miles on the truck, to make sure your suspension has had a chance to settle down some.

My 22 Raptor showed up last week with only .75" of rake. I already had a set of RPG 1.5" spacers ready to install but I've held off as I don't want the nose up look. Now I'm considering a .75" rear space from Foutz which (in concept) would net me at dead level. Still debating...

So, I just finished installing the 1” rear spacers in my garage. With my toolbox and tools in the back, I now have right at 1.5” rake. So, I will prob just install the 1.5” RPG collars up front to level my particular truck!
Sounds like you are on the right track. Go with 1.5” front and .75” rears, if you have nothing in the bed! Go with 1” in the rear if you are carrying ANYTHING back there, of plan to tow lighter loads!

OK, WTF. Everyone says RPG 1.5" will get you level. My stock 2021 with 35s is measuring 2.5" higher in the rear than the front. Will the RPG 1.5" really level me out? Also, I don't care what the measurements are as long as it looks level. I measured both the gap from tire to fender and fender to the ground just to make sure.

Which is not a problem if all your concerned about was looks instead of performance. I think that was the point.
