Default Leveling Kit

So I saw the 15 King Ranch and was surprised to see that the front end rake is more noticeable that I originally imagined.
Is there a simple front leveling kit that doesn't require a lot to install. Not looking to touch the rear if I don't have to. Staying w/factory 20" wheels.
I also suspect I'll have to re adjust my headlights down?
Thanks.

Do the 1" or 1.5" level. They aren't too bad to put in, but lots of guys go to s shop to do it. Need alignment after also. M

Headlights should be fine. And u would adjust them down if necessaru

I put a 2" lift on the front of mine and the rear is still about 1" taller. Headlights don't seem to be problem, or at least nobody is giving me the flash. Just my

picture? even though the wheel wells may have different measurments, dont rely on that to tell you the level of the truck because front and rear wells are shaped differently. put a level on the bed or measure ground to fender to both door handles

I've seen 2.5" front lifts offered. Seems like that may be close to the height needed. Doesn't anyone have a particular brand or version they have used and associated price point? I figured alignment would be also necessary. Anyone get away without re aligning?

i dont suggest going more than 2" in front if you actually use your truck. the autospring 2" level lifts the front 2.25". thats more than enough to make the nose down look disappear.
best advice, put a jack under the front end and lift it 2.25" and see how you like it from a distance

That is a good way to figure out the lift. Any suggestions as to who makes a decent one?

ReadyLift and Pro Comp are good value, and I think there's some vendors/sponsors on this site that sells them.
