Default What Spacer for Leveling my stock '11?

I have an "11 XLT Offroad with the Goodyear ATR's, not the wranglers/ They are the same size but different tread. I swapped out the wheels for the standard 18 inch FX4 trucks. What size spacer do I need just to level the truck out?

Before I had my 5100's put on, my '11 FX4 had about 3/4" of rake thereabouts with an autospring 2" level kit.

You need to measure what amount of rake you have front to back as each truck I have found to be different, due to many factors, mainly being weight. My reg cab STX 4x4 only has 1.75 inches of rake so I am going with a 1" level, which will actually give me close to 1.5-1.75 inches of lift (bonus is that they are $40 versus a puck with another half inch for a 2-2.5" lift which is generally $80-125).

^^ THIS.

Measure measure measure. They are not all the same, measure then find the kit you need.
