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

Throw a 2" spacer level on it and be done with it. It will be your cheapest route. Yes, tires will look smaller but it's not that big of a deal. I'm running stock tires on my leveled fx4 right now and it doesn't look bad. Yes, I will go to a larger size when they need to be replaced, but I'm not buying new tires just for the hell of it.

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.

Love the new ride of the Bilsteins and the height!
