    I'm pretty sure you don't need anything as the rear sits about 2" higher than the front stock. Someone more lift knowledgeable will be able to confirm.

    subbed.....thinking of doing the same. I've read that the 2" spacer will give you
    about 2.5" of lift so you'd need a 1.5" block to level it. What did you buy?

    Save your money on the leveling kit and do it right the first time and level it with 5100's and new coils. Little more money ,but done right way. Most people will agree.

    I ended up with a 2in supreme suspension spacer...but will probably end up going with the bilstein 5100 set up...as I been reading its the better way to go... thanks sr5brian

    How about you not be lazy and do some homework so you know you are buying the correct thing the first time?

    Also here is a little piece of advice you could have received if you searched instead of went the lazy first post generic question route, all trucks sit different. If you take a tape measure you can see how much rake you have, then apply kindergarten math to see how much lift the rear needs (if at all) to get the desired result.

    The laziness of people these days :facepalm:
