Honestly no I didn't measure a thing. I wanted the most lift that I could get, so I went for the 2.5" kit. I knew the whole time that I can always add lift in the back easily if it did sit nose high, but it came out perfectly level.

Before (stock) and after (2.5" Rough Country, 275/65/20 Terra Grapplers). Not the best angles, but truck actually has ~1/4" rake

I'm thinking of adding a block to the rear. My truck seems a little nose high sometimes. What size block do you guys use? What brand? Are they pretty easy to install?

When I bought my Level kit from Tough Country I just upgraded to the heavy duty shocks and the 2 iron blocks for the rear. It did cost me like 120 dollars more, but well worth not having to worry about a plastic or aluminum block that will crack.

The ones I'm looking at are the 3" steel blocks from Auto Spring. What shocks did you get?

I did a 2" from Auto Spring (out of Idaho). I went with this because 1). I didn't want the nose be to too high, and 2). The higher the level kit (spacers), the more wear you'll have on the suspension components (according to multiple sources, but that's just word of mouth). The AS has been known to give a little extra than 2" apparently, and it can also vary from truck to truck. Mine seems to be level or maybe a little nose high-- seems more noticeable now with the taller tires for some reason.

If you don't want to be noes high then for sure just go with the 2". And like the previous poster said, the more lift you go with the faster your front end components will wear out.
