Default What angle are your floorboards at

Flat or fronts raised?

What angle do you have your driver floorboards set at? Mine are currently in the bottom hole position and seem to flat and would like to raise them at more of an angle. But if I raise the fronts up at more of an angle will it interfere with my brake and shifter pedals?

2" forward and up in the front, dont know why I waited 11 years to raise the fronts, must have just been youthfull exuberance.

Just needed to readjust the shifter and I have a custom made brake pedal that uses a shifter peg so ne interference there.

When you guys are raising the boards in the front are you just repositioning the brake and shift levers or leaving them as is?
