I have a 2008 4x4 access cab,just had the suspension (TSB) replaced .New leaf springs and shocks in rear,bump stops and front shocks . Should I replace front shocks with the bilsteins or get a spacer type leveling kit ? The truck now sits much higher in the rear than the front. Thanks

If you put them on right away set them conservatively as in keep a little rake because the back will settle a little bit and if you level it right off the bat you may end up with the "bro lean" when they do settle.
