Please help, I think my truck is squatting!
I need to get my truck leveled back out, I really don't want to be associated with those dicks who squat their trucks!
I just got all new front end componenets. UCAs, ball joints, tie rods, and sway bar links. My truck feels brand new again. It's a little late right now to go measure, but I think the front is sitting higher than the back. I've noticed it a little bit before the new parts, but it seems higher now.
I always have about 250 pounds of tools back there, but that shouldn't make it have a noticeable reverse rake, I feel anyways.
So my question is, should I go add-a-leaf, blocks, or bags? I tow enough that the bags would be used, but they are a little pricey.
I also don't want my ride to suffer too much. So what's your opinions?
2007 4wd screw 2.5" level with 325/60/18 terra grapplers.

Do bilsteins add some lift? Wouldn't mind that route neither.

What if you tow almost everyday? Would you still use air bags, it would be a hassle to air them up everyday wouldn't it?

Add a leaf should give you lift and strength when you tow. Ride might be a little stiffer, but that wouldn't be a bad thing for towing.

It must be a female.
How much higher does it need to go?
If not much I would add a leaf. Ride will still be the same and help when you add weight. I have used them and the ride was no harsher.
Bags seem to give problems after they age.

How was the install with the add-a-leaf?

New leaf packs, swap your block under the springs for a taller one, or add-a-leaf. Those are 3 of the easiest ways.
Please do not stack blocks. Any machine shop will be able to make you a set if it comes to that. Most likely though, replacement blocks are cheap enough that you shouldn't have to go that route.
