Which way? Level with the rear blocks removed or with the front end lifted?

To give you an idea, here's mine with the Daystar 1.5" front lift.

1.5" kit here also. Gives a great stance IMO, I didn't want my truck completely level cause I tow alot and don't want it to squat.

2" would make it a little more level, but like Rip I didn't want the truck to squat when heavy trailers are attached.

BTW, you can also remove the rear blocks between the springs and axle.

You will be fine, but I would opt for shocks anyways, Bilstein HDs will give a better ride and a little more travel which you will need.

Geno's garage or shockwarehouse is a good place to start.

I think the 1.5 looks better when rims accompany it. If you're planning to stick to stock rims I would opt for the 2" or 1.5 if you tow alot. I've had too many ppl tell me to keep my truck how it looks, though I'd like to try a 2" out.

Had AT tires before, and agree the look was better. But I'm enjoying long treadlife, quieter driving, and a pretty dang good ride. These tires have grown on me. I will probably aim for Toyo Open Country next for the better weight rating.
