I'm a bit confused on what you're asking.... You hate the rake, but want to use the load levellers to get the rake back after you lift the front?

The longer version will lift the rear a lot on a stock vehicle and I wouldn't recommend those unless you're running a 2" lift already. A popular setup has been 1/4" strut spacers in front (lifts front ~1/2") and the oem version of the load levellers in the rear (gives ~3/4 lift). Its a slight boost in height along with a bit more tire clearance and less sag when loaded/towing.
