Default 2" Front Level?

I have a 2016 XLT 2WD 2.7 liter. The stock wheels are 18's. I am looking to go with a 2" level in the front and upgrading to a 275/65/18. Does anyone know if 2" will take away the rake? Truck sits too low and stock tires are too small. Pics welcome.

2'' will definitely help. I have a 2.5'' on my 2wd. Not a lot of options for us 2wd besides a spacer. I hear the bilstein 5100s came out but I want to see how they look on 2wd before making any decisions. I don't know if I want to lose the 0.5'' or not.

Stock tires will look small after a level, FYI.

I ordered a 2" this morning after measuring the height of each wheel well. the rear is 2" higher so the kit will level it completely. I'll put meatier tires on after I install the kit. Thanks for the replies guys!

With a 2wd, a 2 inch level should put you very close to level. Unless, someone breaks out a measuring stick, you probably can't spot a rake with your eyeballs.
