I just did a 1 inch daystar level today. The front is only about 1/2 inch lower than the rear. Seems more like a 2 inch to me.

I have the Autospring 1.5"

I bought this because I tow a lot and didn't want the nose high look. Once I started towing it still looked nose high. So I put airbags on.

If I had known I was going to do airbags, I would of gotten the 2" or 2.5".

And I personally think 2.5" front extra 1.5" rear (3" block) looks really good

What about dropping the rear to level with the front?

Leveling kit wise as long As you stay away from the polymer type kit. Go for the ones that are either billet or welded depending on what you want. I recently purchased the autospring 2.5 leveling kit with the bigger blocks as well. It's the kit that fit my needs for the time being.

That works, but defeats the purpose of what most guys are wanting; a raised look...

Yup, and about 1% or 2% of the time the change in geometry may cause an early part failure. I like those odds since my last truck has gone almost 7 years without any part failures and still going strong.
