    I got mine leveled about a month ago at RPT in Mississippi. 2" lift on the front only.
    I like the look and the drive stayed the same.

    I put on a supreme suspensions 2" leveling kit in the front. Ended up adding a 1" block to the back to get it back to level. Love the stance on it. Not to much but enough to give it that look you want. Changed steel wheels to black alloys. Kept original size of 16" and added 265/75/16 Bridgestone dueler revo 2 at tires. image.jpgimage.jpg

    No problem. The more I looked at mine the more I noticed it. Took it to a guy I know and in about 45 minutes he was done. Well worth it.

    I recently installed a 0.5" spacer in the front. It raised my front approximately 1 and 1/8-1/4" once everything settled out. Like it how it is. It's almost exactly level, with the back being about 1/4" higher, and that's fine with me. Ride hasn't changed at all.

    I only want to add a spacer in the front. What inch spacer do I need to make it exactly level with the back it at least close.

    Due to geometry, if you add a spacer that measures 1" thick you will have approximately 1-7/8" (give or take 1/8" inch) of lift. Measure the height of your rear fender well and the height of your front fender well. What is the difference? If that is less than 1-7/8" you're front will be higher than your back.

    Like I said, I added a spacer that measured exactly 0.5" and my rear is approximately 1/8" higher than my front. By the naked eye it is completely level.

    1/2 the difference of the front and rear is the spacer size needed.

    Is the look you are after important enough to mess with rake intentionally engineered into the vehicle?

    Is using cheap bits like a spacer what you really want on a $35k vehicle?

    Why not save up a few bucks and do it right?

    I put a 3/1 from low range off road on mine a couple weeks ago, 3" spacer front and 1" block in the rear. I have 265/70/17's on the stock sport wheels. I'm thinking about going to a 2" block in the rear but I'm not sure if that will require new shocks or not.

    Here comes the spacer natzis.

    If you think raising the front end of the truck 1" creates THAT much difference for an every day driver, you're wrong. Yea, If you're going to be crawling Poison Spider twisting both axels, maybe a spacer isn't for you, but if you want to level the front off, slap some some AT's on it for street cruising and the occasional gravel/muddy road going to the hunting camp, a spacer is completely fine.
