I've been using a 180mm travel 27.5 36 since 2015 and no the bike isn't more raked out than running a 170 or 160\. Once the sag is set you just end up with a lot more negative travel, which works great for keeping the tyre on the ground and a much bigger air chamber to dial in the spring curve you want.
