So then a 2" level should do it. If you ate worried about 35s gef the 2.5 and add a block to the rear. If anything you will end up with a small rake to it. I put a 2.5 up front with a 3 in the rear and it left me with a 3/4" rake that isnt really noticeable to the eye. I measure 39.5 in front and 40.25 im the rear and I'm running 33x12.5 on 20s.

How many miles are on your truck? My shocks were shot. I got the loaded rancho quicklifts for the front and the 9000xl shocks in the rear. I have 33s with no rubbing and it handles great. I would replaced the stock shocks no matter what. Mine didn't even rebound in 5 min after I took them off my truck.

Yeah I'd definitely replace the shocks if you're still on stock shops at 98k. The 9000xl shocks are ranchos that are meant to be paired with the quicklifts. Another nice part about the ranchos is that they have the adjustable dials on the shocks to adjust the ride stiffness. I think I paid about $450 for all 4 plus install. I got the loaded struts that come with new coil springs also so I didn't have to reuse the stock coils and the shop didn't have to compress coils.
