I could do that. My entire cage rakes from the back down to the front. I guess it would be a 2.5" rise in the front and about a 1.5" rise in the back, but it could be done. There's a lot of tube wasted on bends like that though b/c to get that little neck of a turn down you've got to bend an extra foot of tube to get that full bend sense it is at the end of the tube.
