Help me decide!
I own a 2013 fx4 and after doing a little research it looks like a 1.5" front lift will get me almost level, and the 2" lift would get me perfectly level. I just measured the stock fender gaps and it's exactly a 2" difference. I very rarely do much towing, every now and then I may load up an ATV or motorcycle, but that's about it. I would love to have it be perfectly level but I just don't won't it to look retarded if I put something in the bed. Some one please help me make up my mind here

I can tell you from my experience, and IMO, nose up looks pretty dumb. I had an '11 FX4 with a topper. I installed 5100s at all 4 corners with the front set one below max. I was just about perfectly level, maybe ~1/2" rake. Whenever I loaded up anything heavy in the bed or towed something it rode nose up and drove my crazy. I installed an add-a-leaf to get a rake back and alleviate the sagging when loaded/ towing. Never an issue after that.

I would make it fit what every pleases you most on a daily basis. If you spend 90% of the time without something heavy in the bed or a trailer hitched, then make that look fit how you want. Honestly, theres nothing wrong with a bit of rear sag when you have a heavy payload. Now, if you were to go with a daily 'baja' stance where the front is like 3 inches higher than the rear all the time, then I'll just go ahead and call you a dumbass. But thats just me though. Honestly, these trucks look great leveled especially if its 4x4. Level it on some 35"s and call it a day. Lol.
You can look through the threads full of pics here with different suspension setups to help you decide too.

Bought my truck like this but after taking a few good looks at everything with my truck on a lift, I'm almost positive the only suspension mod on my truck a front strut spacer that must be about 1.5-2", and I'm running 35"s. So are many others just leveled are running 35"s as well, I believe theres a thread dedicated to "Will they fit?" in the '11-'14 section that tells you what suspension set ups fit what tires with pictures. .
