I have the same the truck and was wondering what tires you squeezed under there. I too put a 2" lift on front but now it just feels like my truck is nose high. Thinking about adding a rear block.
It does look a hint nose high to me as well, but I think that may be an optical illusion since the top of the hood is higher than the top of the bed. I have barely more than 2” rake stock so I’d be concerned mine would look a hint nose high.
Looks like it’s all taken care of. Anyone know what this yellow paint is for? Seems like it would only be to mark the positioning on the nut and stud and I wonder why they felt the need to do so.
Slippage mark. When the paint doesn't line up anymore, the nut is coming off.
Just installed Bilstein 5100 front and rear. Front set at 1.76, love the look. Fuel Vector wheels with Toyo Open Country AT 275/70R18. The stance is perfect in my opinion, ride is improved greatly.

Well that seals the deal. Gonna do the Bilstein lift and then do new shoes for the old girl. Glad to see another member of the long bed revolution.

You won't regret it, such a small upgrade in my opinion changes the look of the truck completely. The biggest surprise was my MPG, went cruising last night in mixed driving for about 60 miles and averaged 20.2. I had expected much worse with different wheels and the switch to LT tires.
Recently upgraded from a 2009 to a 2017 and am looking to level the front. Does anyone have any experience with Max Trac? Specifically this kit? I have not heard much about this brand.
I had Bilstein 5100s set at the heights setting on my 2009 with 33s and am looking for a similar look. I will be putting 33s on the 2017
Just added 285/60/20’s + 2” leveling kit. Overall front end height increased by 2.5”, no rubbing issues. Great ride & quiet tires, but crappy gas mileage. Sure looks good though! Here’s some before and after photos, and a few closeups of the Copper XLT’s.

Seems from what I'm reading that strut spacers will actually lift higher than their thickness, that a 2" spacer will actually raise the front 2 1/2" and a 2 1/2 will lift it 3".
