Hopefully they will continue that way. I'm a little paranoid about nice chrome wheels through a winter. I had some American [made in china] Racing wheels that the clearcoat was destroyed in one winter. Don't need that problem again.

Only if you don't add anything in the rear. Throw a block on the rear and it will keep a slight rake and help with that

Do you have a pic of your level with the stock tires?

Not a FX4 but here's a picture of my Lariat with the stock 275/65R18 tires and a 2" level. It'll look better with larger tires but these still have a lot of life left in them.

Only way the front would be higher is if you raised the front up higher then the back. Measure front and back then you can pick the level kit size to keep the rear higher or raise both!

Thanks for the pic. It looks fine. Same size stick tires as mine. I think I will do the 2" level and leave stock size also, until I'm in need of new tires, then upgrade to a bit larger tire.

Don't just pick an arbitrary level size and have it installed. You may not like your results, depending on the look you were going for. Measure the height of your front wheelwell arch and your rear wheelwell arch. That will tell you how much rake you have from the factory. Not all trucks are the same. If you only have 1.5" of rake from the factory, and then put a 2.5" level on...you're gonna have a Cali Lean or Carolina Squat that's pretty noticeable. Like I said, depends on the look you're going for. I personally went with a 2" front level and a 3" block to keep about an inch of rake or so.

Here are a few. I know bigger tires will look better, but I don't think it's bad as is.
