Could someone please measure rocker panel front and rocker panel rear so I could get a reference of rake ?
And a photo of your car or post #.
I measured the very bottom on the rocker at the leading edge of the door ... and the very rear lowest corner
I have 5" and 6 3/4 THANKS

You can't get reliable measurements from the bottom of the rocker. You need an inclinometer or angle finder on top of the rocker, and want about 1 degree of rake. If your fender lips are identical in height, your rear end is most likely too high. You want the rear fender lip to be about 1/4" to 1/2" lower than the front. Probably closer to 1/2", but that will probably be dependent on where your corner balance ends up at.
