im trying to decide which way to go with a leveling kit. im debating between the AS or HellBent 2" front, which seems to make the oem set up sit level or go with the AS 2.5 front and Readylift 3" rear blocks. ive seen some pics on the site with this set up but the angles made it tough to see if the truck sat perfectly level. in some pics the rear still looked a bit higher. appreciate the help.

If not level, I believe your rearend will be about .5" higher with the 2.5" and rear block. How level do you need to be?
Personally, I like a little rake for aerodynamic and loading purposes. In fact, I'll eventually replace my rear 3" block with an Add A Leaf kit, which will raise the rear at least another half inch, not to mention withstanding heavier loads. I have a 2" level up front. I haven't exactly measured it yet, but looks like my rear is currently 1" higher.

nice truck! my truck is blue as well and im from New Mexico. i would like for my truck to sit level where the front and rear look straight. i dont tow often and only have heavy payloads once in a while, so i dont need the extra rake and would rather have a clean even look. the purpose of going with the 2.5/3" set up would be to clear wheels/tires better and maybe run 34s instead of 33s.

The truck sits rear high from the factory soooo lifting it 2.5 in front and 3 in the rear is only going to make the rear .5 higher then it was before. A 2" level and nothing in back would "level" it.

I would do the 2.5 your talking about in front first and see how it turns out, then you can judge what you need in back much better.

^^ not true

4x4 trucks already have a 1-5/8" block in the rear.
stock, the front is about 1-1/2" lower on the 09+ 2wd and 4wd

therefore 2.5" up front and 3" in the back will make the rear about 1/2" higher than the front which would be perfect.

Who said its 4x4?

I own a '10 2wd with a 1.5" "level", and the rear is still a good .5" higher. So if I put a 3" block in, the rear would be 3.5" higher then the front - with a 2.5" level it would be 2.5" higher.

the 3" block is for 4x4 and replaces the stock 1.5" block giving the rear only 1.5" of lift over stock... 2x4 doesn't have a factory block therefore only gets a 1.5" block.... can you dig it?

IF its 4x, then ya. If its 2x and you put a 3" block on it, like the op asked, it would sit *** high.

If I put a 1.5" block on my truck with the 1.5" level, it would sit 2" higher in the rear, that aint even close to level in my book. It all depends on which spacer you use and what truck you have. The OP is talkign about 2" and 2.5 for the front but we still dont know if its 2x or 4x so Im not sure how you guys can say "yes 3" block will level it".

Tampawright

but the readylift 3" block (that the OP asked about) is made for 4x4 OOOONLY.....

M&D

4x4 only? A 3" block is a 3" block. The rear suspension is identical besides the FACTORY block on the 4x. Whatever lol.
