2007 2wd leveling kits?

My dad picked up an 07 6.7 2wd dually and he, nor do I, like the way it sits. Does anyone know of or recomend a good leveling kit to raise the front end to make it sit even with the rear end?

Thanks

Why don't you drop the back? 2wd leveling kits don't look that great when finished.

Well, we arent really in it for looks so much as function. If we were to lower the rear, it would kinda defeat the purpose of having a 1-ton. We are already bad about overloading our trucks, dropping the rear would make it drag, not to mention it would look like some low-rider truck you see in "Useless Truck Mod" magazines.
The trucks front end also seems to rub and drag sometimes when he drives through fields. True, we probably should have bought a 4x4 but it was a very very well optioned out truck with over $8000 off the sticker price, couldnt pass it up.

So yeah, back to my origional question...

I was suggesting taking out the factory spacers, there is 2 useless 5/8 inch spacers in the rear... Not ghetto dropping it. A lot of people that haul 5th wheels do this and it's free and effective. The reason why I give you advice like this is because I'm assuming you've exhausted the search function on this site. This has to be one of the top 10 most asked questions here.

Anyway, I've found some on ebay. Just make sure you get the ones made of steel not rubber. I'm going with actual springs instead of spacers but they cost more. I'm referencing my 4x4.

You're going to have the same problem with the rearend sagging under loads with the front raised if you are hauling that much weight.... You can always pull out the factory spacers and add airbags for the extreme loads. Or do the front raise and airbags... which will make it sit closest to level. With the front raise you might have to run airbags too if you haul as much as you say, probably more of a neccesity with the front lift than rear drop.. With the front spacers you'll most likely want to get it at least checked then most likely aligned...
