Default Help, 2" leveling kit didn't help much...?

Hey guys, I had my 2" leveling kit installed today, and it doesn't look like it lifted the front much at all. I wish I measured the rake in stock form...

Anyway, no pics now because it's a little dark. Currently I have 24" from the center of the hub to the fender in the front. And 24 3/4" in the rear.

Can someone point me towards a thread (I searched, and couldn't find anything) or post their stock truck measurements?

Thanks in advance!

Truck in SIG.

These are the best pictures I have of the truck. Not sure if the tiny fender flares affect the measurement or not.



These pics are of the stock truck

My 1.5" AS level gave me a reverse rake and I had to add blocks to the rear!

Yup mine with a 2" is leaning back like this as well. Replacing the rear blocks to get the back end up some more.

My front measures 39.5" from ground to center of fender and the rear is 39".

adding another 1.25" to the rear for a 3/4" rake
