From what I've read it will be more gentle than a ride with a level. Depending on what kind of tires you got those 35s with make a larger difference than the level hands down. I run 50psi in my m/t's, but they are 10ply E range but I knew they would ride rougher when I bought them. I would lower the psi in your tires if at all possible. But remember when you modify from stock the way you did it takes away from the ride.

its the tires.. i ran my level for a few months while looking for tires. it rode just as smoth as stock with the level installed. once i swapped tires to m/t's you could tell things were not as smooth.

I don't know, I'm opposite. I installed a 2.5 level kit and kept the same tire/rim set while waiting for new tires. The ride most definitely was rougher. The truck did not absorb the bumps near as good without the level.
