The rake did change a bit, but the rear only went up by roughly one inch, if that.

The next tank is in (I've been neglecting my log, so pay no attention to that). MPG for this one was 17.89mpg. That puts in in third-best ever for a commuting tank. First place at 19.25 is the one above with commuting and a bit road trip, and second place was 18-point-something with commuting and a 30mi hypermiling run. With the tailgate and full weight in place, at one point I tried to get maximum economy on pure commuting and got about 17.2, although that was with noticeably worse weather. Given that this tank had a LOT of driving like an idiot, I'd say that's pretty okay. The tire continues to plague me, and at least 50mi of the 320mi tank were done with one tire at 10psi or less.

When I get the new tire on, I'll start a new tank and we'll see where that goes. So far, the Dakota has set two top-three-ever tanks with the current setup.
