Default Leveled 2wd?

Has anyone leveled out a 2wd 2015? Most level kits I've seen only do the front. I was looking at the 2.5 RC but was wondering what I needed to do for the back to keep it from getting that squat look.

I put a 2.5" spacer up front on my 2WD but also added a 2.25" rear block. It has a slight rake. I forget the exact measurements but I think it looks pretty good with the 34" tires I put on with it.

If you don't get a rear block you could always try getting a 1.5" front strut spacer. I'd measure first to find out the difference between the front and rear of the truck. Measure from the center of the hub of the wheel to the top of the arch in the fender front and rear, both sides. I say center of the hub because this accounts for the ground not being level and different tire psi. If you're on level ground go ahead and do it from the ground.

I'd assume you could purchase the 2.5" spacer for the front and buy the factory 1.25" block they put on the 4x4s and that will give you the same look as the guys with 4x4s just doing the front level. I'm sure one of the guys on the forum would be willing to part with their factory block for a decent price after putting a lift or different rear block on their truck.

I haven't installed it yet but I have a 2" kit for my 2015. When I measured my truck, it is just shy of 2.5" difference front to rear so I think the 2" spacers will be perfect.

That's a good idea. I'll post up and look for a factory 4x4 block for the rear and get the 2.5 for the front.

Same with me. I got a 2" kit for my truck when I put 22s on it to prevent it from rubbing. It turns out they fit perfect without the kit. Now the kit is in the garage until I feel like tinkering or selling it.

I have a 2015 2WD added a 2.5 AS kit in front and 1.5 inch block in rear. It's perfect for me.
The first pic is after the level and before the tires. The second is after the tires/wheels.
I did a pretty good write up of the install. I'll find the link and post it later.

Do people level their trucks by only using the front kit and leaving the rear stock? Sorry, I am new to leveling.
