I don't have a pick going down the side but the front tires do stick out about 1" to 1.5" past the back tires, doesn't bother me. I'll have to get back with you about the wheel well height I don't remember it off the top of my head. And no I didn't do anything special for the rake but I might have measured on un- level ground
So far there is no rub and I did no trimming. I've only had the lift for a couple of days but I can tell it's a little stiffer, which is to be expected but not bad at all. The rake isn't to bad, just about 1 inch. As for the lift it was between this one and the BDS but I wanted to run 35's without rubbing and the guys I had install the lift told me the zone was the way to go! so far they seem right and I love it.
