wouldn't that be 1/2 inch rake?

I installed a Daystar 2" level kit. No complaints other than having to cut down the 3 studs on the top of the strut to allow for the extensions to fully seat. Approx. 1" rake since I installed Firestone bags, too.

I didn't have nearly the rake before as others, so my level is more subtle. I just washed the truck in the before pic on a beautiful day so i find that pic is a little better then the one i took this morning. (Cloudy and misty) If you look at the fence in the back ground you can see how much it truly raised the font end.

In 2yrs give or take I will likely change tire sizes again.

So there are obviously many options here

So I think getting level has more to do with how much stock rake you have.

My friend has a 7200 GVWR XLT which seems to sit with much less rake than my 7650 or my buddy's 7700

So basically that means:

7200 w/o or just with tow package
7700/7650 with Max tow & or HD

So, I think with my Max tow, to get level will take a 2 inch level, vs a 1.5

Anyways, my other question is... which level do not require any triming of stock bolts and which is better...

Hell Bent Steel or Autospring? I kinda prefer the look of the chunky aluminum billit, but I'm sure its all the same
