I installed the 2 in AS level kit ( had a shop do it)
The ride is a little stiffer
Is that normal?
Usually the leveling kit doesn't stiffen the ride. The Load Range E tires that most people add stiffen the ride. You probably can soften the ride a little with an air pressure adjustment. But it will still ride a bit stiffer than it did with the P rated tires that came on the truck.
That's a good looking set up you got there.
I would agree the tires added to the stiffness but as I drove from the leveling shop to the tire shop there was a noticeable increase in stiffness.
If the level kit does not add to stiffness is there a known issue with incorrect installation that may cause increase in stiffness?
Thanks for the gelp
The leveling kit will make it ride a little rougher. You are changing the angles of your suspension, which was designed to have a comfortable ride from the factory. My truck with a 2.5" level, and a set of Nittos, rides like an old logging wagon. I just don't let it bother me.
The guys running the adjustable shocks, like the Fox racing setups, say they have a really nice ride.

I appreciate the feedback
Can I improve my ride by changing to a different shock up front? And keep these spacers?
