No pics. yet but dropping my rear with a BellTech 2" shackle drop kit. That should get it near level. I don't plan on towing anything heavy and not into lifting the front with spacers. JMO.

I still have a .5" positive rake. From all angles, it looks level but when measured on a flat surface, the rear is .5" higher

If you're talking about the Daystar kit, yes the 2" would be too much. The Daystar 1" kit actually measures out larger to about 1 3/8". There's an additional slight gain when installed. If you're looking to level an FX2, go with the 1" kit and you'll be happy with the results. The ride quality was the same after the install and I'm very happy with the choice.

They all perform the same function. I think the Daystar 1" kit will be the least expensive at about $40 (it will create 1.5" of level). If you're paying for an install, it will be between $200-250 and you'll need to get it aligned afterwards.
