if the rake is 2° sin 2 = .031899, cos 2 = .99939
2° rake imparts only a very small increase in the height of the CoM or more importantly the rear CoM and a very small forward movement of the CoM
inc CoM in back means a longer lever arm for more body roll, again by a very small amount
as Driven says any effects you feel from raising or lowering front only are far most likely to be from toe, camber, caster and aero Δ's where small Δ can impart a significant change in handling

I thought as much.
But after a few coffees and the sun is shining, I wasn't too concerned about the toe out.
