What about dropping the rear so its level with the front? How does that affect hauling or towing?
What about the headlights? If I drop the rear or raise the front...what about when hauling a load...thats going to affect my headlights right?
I have the stock GY Wrangler AT/S tires on it now...not really planning on swapping them out. New wheels wont be added until winter but sticking with 18's. Will leavling either front or back make any difference in how the truck handles?

I added a 3" Pro Comp Leveling kit (life time Warranty) and 2.5" rear block, and Firestone rear Air Bags for towing. My back is raked because of the 2 pin ford went to for 2012 blocks 1" wasn't enough and the only one i could find at the time was the 2.5" after market was hard to find, it is starting to settle already so if you haul something it should look level with out using the air bags till i haul one of my trailers, plus Im using BFG Rugged Terrian T/A's 275/65/20= 34.1" the load rate is an extra 1000lbs for towing, these tires are Awesome smooth quiet and yet look great in person - here is a pic
My question for all of you with new trucks that have leveled them out is basically what step do you take to figure out what the best height would be? I know that they make them from 1.5" to 3" on the front, but what is actually the height you are suppose to do up front to make sure it is level with the back?
Is there an actual way to measure this or anything? I am sorry if you all think this is a dumb question, but I am new to doing my own work on trucks. I find it much CHEAPER vs. having another person or the dealer doing it for me.
That's why I would rather do it myself or at least buy my own parts and have a buddy help me out.
Hope some of you can help me out!
